EVALUATION OF SCHOOLS DEANS/ DEPARTMENT CHAIRS Update Delete

Schools deans/department chairs are evaluated according to the following schedule:

1. Annually by the vice president for Academic Administration for leadership abilities, management skills, interpersonal communication skills, and teaching skills (when appropriate).  Results are shared with the school dean/department chair and president.
2. Every four years by the faculty members and staff within the school/department. The results are reviewed, along with the annual evaluation results, by the vice president for Academic Administration, and shared with the school dean/department chair.  The results will be the basis for recommending one of the following actions:
   
   1. Re-appointment to another four-year term;
   2. No re-appointment with return to full-time teaching or other Southern Adventist University position;
   3. No re-appointment and termination of employment status.
3. A newly appointed school dean/department chair will be evaluated by the faculty members and staff within the school/department at the end of the second year and the fourth year of the first four-year term. Thereafter, faculty and staff evaluations of the school dean/department chair will be conducted every fourth year.
