Gaslevic, a proud UBalt Law alumna, was named associate dean for administration in August 2022 after a lengthy career in higher education, during which she served as both attorney and administrator.
Gaslevic began her career in higher education at the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, where she was appointed assistant attorney general and senior counsel for advice in the Higher Education Division and represented various University System of Maryland clients, including the University of Baltimore. Gaslevic also worked with University System of Maryland leaders to advise on and create system-wide policy.
At Johns Hopkins University, Gaslevic served as both assistant vice provost and Title IX coordinator and interim vice provost for institutional equity. She led the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE), which serves all Hopkins divisions in the United States and internationally, by ensuring institution compliance with federal, state and local laws related to affirmative action and equal opportunity; investigating all protected-class discrimination and harassment complaints; providing harassment prevention and disability services training; and serving as a central resource for faculty, staff and students in connection with discrimination and harassment concerns, as well as disability, pregnancy and religious accommodations.
Gaslevic served as the Hopkins representative on, and held a leadership role within, the National Academies of Science Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education, and served on the Association of American Universities Advisory Board on Sexual Harassment in Academia.
Directly before joining UBalt Law, Gaslevic was senior counsel at the large national law firm of Husch Blackwell, where she advised a wide range of higher education clients on matters such as student and faculty affairs, compliance, policy development, training and case management.
In her role as associate dean for administration at UBalt Law, Gaslevic is responsible for the administration of the law school, with approximately 100 faculty and staff members, a student body of more than 700 students, and a budget of more than $24 million. Gaslevic oversees and manages finance and administration, grants, admissions, career services, the law library, fundraising and development, external relations and international programs.
Additional responsibilities include managing a range of personnel, safety and facilities issues. Gaslevic also helps to lead strategic planning as well as the reaccreditation of the law school, and assists to launch key initiatives such as the development of new programs, and identifying and pursuing alternative funding sources to enhance revenues. Gaslevic serves on law school and university committees and works with a range of university and community partners to accomplish law school goals.
