Who was the Provost for the University of Central Florida in 1986?

Hello joeyd:

Thanks for the interesting question. 

It appears the answer to your question is Dr. Richard Astro, who
served in that position from 1986 - 1993.

I also searched the UCF website, but was unable to finding a listing
of past provosts there.

Hope this helps!
