Subject: Faculty Evaluation/Input for Chairs
 

Craig,
Sally and I have met via e-mail.  Please place our formal recommendations on the agenda for next month's FAPC meeting.  If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.  Thank you.
 
Recommendations: 

1. FAPC members educate their constituents regarding the existing Academic Affairs handbook policy 3.07.01 (emphasis is ours):

   Part IV, Evaluation of Academic Administrators by others
   All faculty have the opportunity to participate in the evaluation of the academic administrators. At their discretion they may complete evaluations on department chairs, deans, directors, assistant vice presidents, associate vice presidents and the Vice President/Dean of Faculties by using the PART IV Academic Administrators Evaluation Form, Located here). Under Georgia state law, all evaluations are considered subject to the open records law. There will be an in depth review of academic administrators conducted every 5 years by the supervisor.  The schedule of these 5 year reviews is located here, Administrative 5 Year Review Time Table.

2. FAPC requests that Provost consider modification of the policy to encourage active solicitation by the Deans of suggestions for development of department chairs as part of an annual department/unit quality improvement or review process.  Suggest a separate form be used that solicits input for chair development, rather than the current Part IV evaluation form. Sample form attached.
