Review of the Professional Performance of Administrators

WHEREAS, assurance of effective teaching, research, creative activity, and service functions within The University of North Carolina requires interdependence between faculty and administrators; and

WHEREAS, it is important that administrators sponsor university objectives and retain the confidence of the faculty; and

WHEREAS, most campuses of The University of North Carolina do not currently have accountable systems of review of the professional performance of administrators that include faculty involvement; and

WHEREAS, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools requires periodic review of the effectiveness of administrative leaders;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT on each UNC campus the faculty be involved in the performance review of administrative leaders such as chancellors, vice chancellors, associate vice chancellors, deans and department heads and that such reviews should occur on an annual basis with a more intensive review conducted at regular intervals; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Faculty Assembly recommend to the President of The University of North Carolina to support substantial faculty involvement in the systematic review of administrators on all campuses of The University of North Carolina.
