SENSE OF THE SENATE RESOLUTION

COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF DEANS

WHEREAS, the UAH Faculty Handbook requires deans to undergo a comprehensive review of their performance early in the fall semester of the fifth year of their term (see Appendix A.2-3),

WHEREAS, the deans have important responsibilities as the chief administrative officers of the colleges, including duties to supervise faculty teaching, service, and research, to evaluate faculty and departmental performance, and to help enforce the requirements of the Faculty Handbook,

WHEREAS, it is unfair for administrative officers who enforce the Faculty Handbook to be exempt from the procedures of the Faculty Handbook,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED

That the UAH Faculty Senate calls on the Provost to enforce immediately the procedures for the comprehensive review of the deans laid out in the Faculty Handbook.
