The University of Pittsburgh on Friday named Ann E. Cudd, a Boston University dean and a Pitt graduate, as its provost, succeeding Patricia Beeson, who earlier announced her plan to return to teaching.

Ms. Cudd, who will begin her tenure this fall, is dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at BU. The hire was approved by Pitt’s board of trustees as it met on campus.
