Review of Administrators on the Campuses of the California State University

AS-2557-02/FA - March 7-8, 2002

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University (CSU) urge campuses to articulate principles, policy and procedures that ensure a clear role for faculty in the review of their administrators; and be it further

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate CSU urge campuses to ensure that administrative review policies include standards related to accountability and that reviews take place on a regular basis; and be it further

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate CSU commend campuses that already have written policies that include faculty in the review of administrators and that ensure high quality in these assessments.

RATIONALE: Just as faculty ask for transparency in the criteria, standards, and procedures by which the quality of their performance is evaluated, they have an obligation to maintain an unimpeachable quality of performance in the evaluation of administrators. This resolution reminds the campuses to exercise due diligence in realizing that goal, and commends those that have given it appropriate attention over time.
