Procedures/Guidelines

In the spring semester, each vice president and academic dean will meet with their supervisor for their annual performance review. The supervisor may ask the vice president or academic dean to complete a self-evaluation in advance of that review.

Each vice president and academic dean will be reviewed using the established criteria and on the achievement of their pre-established goals from the prior review period. This evaluation will be documented and discussed with the vice president or academic dean.

Goals for the coming year will be established. Individual goals will be discussed for clarification and common understanding. Timelines will be determined for each goal as needed. Due to the nature of executive-level positions, goals may be added or modified throughout the year as necessary.
