-
To carry out the New College faculty
evaluation of the Provost and the President.
-
Around the middle of the spring semester, the committee
circulates questionnaires to the entire faculty, including
the voting student representatives to the faculty meeting.
The questionnaires are to serve for evaluating the Provost
and the President. The questionnaires will include several
questions concerning the Provost’s and the President’s
leadership, commitment, openness, administrative
accessibility and competence and other aspects of their
performance. The questions will call for narrative
answers. The questionnaires will be brief, and space will
be provided for faculty members to provide additional
comments as well as answers to direct questions. The
completed questionnaires may be signed or returned
anonymously, and will be returned to the FASC via the
online survey service. May 14, 2008
-
After the deadline for the receipt of
questionnaires, the FASC chair, in consultation with the
entire committee, will review the responses and develop
written summaries of them, which will include a statement of
the number of responses received. The Provost’s summary
will be forwarded to the President, as the faculty’s
evaluation of the Provost. The President’s summary will be
forwarded to the Chair of the Board of Trustees as the
faculty's evaluation of the President.
Both will be accorded the same treatment with regard
to privacy as are other evaluations at the College.
