Community

Date: March 11, 1998
Subject: Review of Deans, Chairs, and Faculty
The Academic Senate recently unanimously
passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a joint committee
with the charge of developing methods for:
1. review and evaluation of all academic leaders, including deans, associate and assistant deans, directors, division heads, and department chairs by faculty and administrators, and
2. a consistent, university-wide system of faculty reviews and evaluation of faculty that is in consonance with the criteria described in the Faculty Handbook, white papers of the Academic Senate, and other relevant documents of the University or the faculty members unit.
I concurred with this resolution and in consultation with the Executive Board of the Academic Senate, formed a committee to carry out this charge. The committee, chaired by Greg Thalmann, will consist of two sub-committees, each charged to address one of the above areas.
The first sub-committee is co-chaired
by Sally Pratt and Silvia Formenti, and is charged with developing methods
for the review of all academic leaders as outlined in Item No. 1.
The second sub-committee is co-chaired by Barbara Solomon and Nicos Petasis,
and is charged with developing methods for a consistent, university-wide
evaluation of faculty as outlined
in Item No. 2. Attached is
listing of the members of each sub-committee. I have asked the committee
to submit its report to me by April 24, 1998.
If you interested in making input to the the subcommittees, I urge you to contact either Greg Thalmann or the co-chairs of the sub-committees.
