Five-Year Administrator Review
Each academic administrator undergoes a comprehensive review every five years. The purpose of the five-year review is to provide the faculty, staff, students and other constituencies of the unit with an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of their leadership and administrative performance and to provide actionable feedback to the administrator under review.
This process looks different for different levels of administrators. For academic administrators who report directly to the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, the following guidelines apply:
- Guidelines for Review of Deans
- Guidelines for Review of Academic Affairs Vice Presidents
- Guidelines for Review of Vice Provosts
- Guidelines for Review of Associate Provosts
- Guidelines for Review of Academic Affairs Directors
Midterm Assessment
All academic administrators who report to the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost undergo a midterm assessment following the culmination of their second year.
The midterm assessment aims to provide an opportunity for constructive feedback and guidance to administrators early on in their positions to improve their leadership and administration of their unit.
The assessment consists of a survey of the constituencies of the unit that the administrator leads (including faculty and staff, as appropriate) as well as a survey of their peers across campus (including vice presidents, deans, associate provosts and vice provosts). The survey results are reviewed by the provost and discussed with the administrator in a follow-up meeting.
