Program of Administrator Evaluation

(7) At the request of the President of the University, the Chairman of the University Senates Conference in July 1973 appointed a Study Group on the Evaluation of University Administrators. T h e group, made up of faculty as well as administrators, was asked to study University policy and procedural guidelines for the evaluation of administrative performance. The Trustees have received copies of the "Report of the Study Group on Administrator Evaluation," together with a letter from the Chairman of the University Senates Conference outlining the reaction of the Conference after review of the report and containing recommendations from the Conference for the implementation of an administrator evaluation program. Administrative review of the report of the Study Group is already under way. The other recommendations of the Conference will be followed in due course, including the assignment to the University Senates Conference of the responsibility for follow-up review and advice. Consistent with those recommendations, I now ask that the Board of Trustees: 1. Affirm its policy that the performance of academic administrators should be evaluated regularly; and 2. Authorize for a trial period of between two and four years (as may later be the advice of the President, approved by the Board) implementation of the practice in a manner consistent with the principles and other provisions contained in the June 1974 "Report of the Study Group on Administrator Evaluation."

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this policy was affirmed and authority was given as requested.
