Unit Administrator Evaluation
[Please refer to ECU
Faculty Manual Interpretation #00-13]
1. The voting
faculty of each unit shall vote on the effectiveness of the unit administrator.
During March of the unit administrator's fourth year of appointment and
every fourth year thereafter, the voting faculty shall discuss and vote by
secret ballot on the effectiveness of the unit administrator. Please refer to the ECU Policy on Review of
Administrative Officers, dated 3-18-02.
2. Each unit will elect a Faculty Leader for the
Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation. For units with only one Personnel
Committee, the elected chair of the Personnel Committee will serve as the
Faculty Leader for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation. For units
with more than one Personnel Committee, the unit administrator will call a
meeting of the chairs of the Personnel Committees during the fall semester
preceding the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation. At that meeting, a
voting faculty member of the unit will be nominated and elected by the chairs
of the Personnel Committees within the unit to serve as the Faculty Leader for
the Quadrennial Unit Evaluation.
3. The Faculty Leader of the Quadrennial Unit
Administrator Evaluation will call a meeting of the voting faculty during March
of the following semester. At that meeting, with the unit administrator
absent, the faculty will discuss and vote by secret ballot on the effectiveness
of the unit administrator. Absentee ballots must be made available for voting
faculty members in advance of this meeting; ballots must be deposited with the
Faculty Leader for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation prior to the
meeting so that those ballots may be intermingled with and then counted along
with ballots of faculty members present for the meeting. It is the
responsibility of the Faculty Leader for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator
Evaluation to ensure that absentee ballots and all other ballots are kept
secret and confidential.
4. The balloting will be conducted by the Faculty Leader
for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation, assisted by members of the
Personnel Committee(s) from the unit. They shall distribute, collect, and count
the ballots after adding any absentee ballots cast prior to the meeting. The
unit administrator shall not vote in this procedure.
5. Before adjourning the meeting, the Faculty Leader for
the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation shall announce the results of the
balloting to the voting faculty members. Immediately following the meeting, the
Faculty Leader for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator Evaluation shall convey
to the unit administrator the results of the balloting. A copy of this
correspondence shall also be submitted to the next higher administrative
official by the Faculty Leader for the Quadrennial Unit Administrator
Evaluation.
6. A negative
vote by a majority of the voting faculty, excluding the unit administrator,
shall constitute a recommendation that the unit administrator be removed. A
decision to terminate an administrative officer's appointment shall be made by
the Chancellor.
