The administrative review process establishes a systematic method for faculty and other constituencies to provide structured feedback on the performance of administrators and their units.
Designed as a collaborative process to encourage continuous improvement, committees review a wide variety of information to provide thoughtful recommendations on how the administrator and their unit’s performance may be improved to better serve their constituents and the university.
The review process provides three critical results:
- Recognizes successes and highlights areas needing improvement with a focus on fostering growth and development.
- Encourages broad participation and promotes a culture of shared governance by ensuring all voices are heard.
- Advances the university’s mission by identifying opportunities for greater effectiveness through collegial dialogue.
The review process must be characterized by reasoned discourse, intellectual honesty, mutual respect, and openness to constructive change. It should be transparent, collaborative, and designed to produce meaningful data that can inform future policies, procedures, and best practices.
In sum, these reviews are an essential tool for promoting accountability, enhancing administrative effectiveness, and ensuring that leadership continues to serve the best interests of the entire university community.
