Evaluation of Academic Administrators Overview
The Institutional Effectiveness and Research Administration oversees the faculty and department head assessment of deans, department heads, and associate/assistant department heads evaluation (survey tool) of the annual faculty evaluation process. The intent of this evaluation is to give faculty and department heads the opportunity to give feedback on the performance of the deans, department heads, and associate/assistant department heads.
In 2019, an evaluation committee was formed to design a more effective evaluation of tool and to make recommendations for improving the data collection process. This committee was formed based on a Faculty Senate resolution, and it included representatives from all colleges and the Faculty Senate. This overview was developed in response to one of the committee’s recommendations to provide additional information about the evaluation process itself, and the revised evaluation instrument will utilized in to collect data in calendar year 2022.
As with most online processes, some user information may be collected; however, we have set the survey security options to minimize the amount of user data being collected as part of the evaluation process. We do not collect IP addresses or any other identifying information. The deans, department heads, and other administrators do not have access to this Qualtrics survey, and they will only receive pdf copies of the reports that are generated. We work very hard to protect the identities of those who complete the evaluations, so we encourage you to avoid making any comments that might reveal your identity.
