DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETING DEPARTMENT HEADS’ ANNUAL EDO COMPREHENSIVE

EVALUATION

The Department Head’s EDO Comprehensive Evaluation will include, when completed, the following

documents: Annual Objectives, Annual Report and Annual Evaluation.

1. Prior to May 1 preceding the evaluation year, the Department Head will complete the Annual Objectives

document and submit it to the Dean for approval. The objectives should be stated in complete sentences and

indicate clearly whether they should be regarded principally as department/administrative or

faculty/individual. In some instances, it may not be possible to distinguish between the two.

The Annual Objectives, where possible, should refer explicitly to institutional and college/school

objectives. The objectives should clearly reflect a personal as well as a departmental commitment to

affirmative action.

Where appropriate, objectives should include approximate timelines for completion.

In framing departmental/administrative objectives, the Department Head may wish to include such

items as (1) specific efforts to increase the hiring, promotion, and training of minorities, (2)

improvements to be made in departmental administration, (3) departmental initiatives scheduled for

implementation, (4) planning efforts toward long-range initiatives, (5) plans to address particular

departmental challenges, (6) professional and scholarly activities to be pursued, (7) professional

development activities to be undertaken, (8) departmental efforts toward university, college/school,

and community service, and (9) new courses to be taught or new pedagogical methods to be

employed.

If the Head or Dean wishes to differentiate faculty/individual from departmental/administrative

objectives, faculty/individual objectives might include such items as projected responsibilities in (1)

teaching, (2) advisement, (3) university, college and community service, and (4) research,

publications, presentations, or other creative activities.

2. Prior to March 1, the Department Head should complete the Annual Report, summarizing below each

objective the extent to which it was accomplished. The Annual Report should be as specific as possible. If

further action on any objective is required, the Report should indicate whether efforts toward the objective

will be continued the following year.

3. During the evaluation conference with the Dean, March 5-20, the Department Head may expand any items

in the Annual Report requiring additional explanation. During or following the conference, the Dean will

evaluate each objective in the Report. As part of the Annual Evaluation, the Dean will include a summary

paragraph indicating an overall performance assessment and pointing to objectives which should be

considered for the following year. The Dean will then indicate his or her overall evaluation of the Head’s

performance as Distinguished, Commendable or Unsatisfactory.

4. After the Dean has completed the Annual Evaluation, including the summary paragraph and overall

evaluation, the Department Head will sign the document and indicate whether he or she accepts or does not

accept the evaluation. The signature does not indicate concurrence with judgments expressed by the Dean.

If the Department Head indicates that he or she does not accept the evaluation, the Department Head may

wish to state, in writing, the reasons. This additional documentation should be attached to the Annual

Evaluation.

5. After both the Dean and Department Head have signed the Annual Evaluation, it will be forwarded by the

Dean to the Provost for review and approval.
