Review of Senior Academic Administrators
Memorandum For: University Community
From: Chancellor J. Keith Motley
Date: February 23, 2009
Subject: Review of Senior Academic Administrators
This semester I will conduct reviews of three senior administrators according to university and campus guidelines. The senior administrators being reviewed are:
- Darrell Byers, Vice Chancellor for University Advancement
- Ellen O’Connor, Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance
- Charlie Titus, Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation, Special Programs and Projects
How to participate
I encourage broad participation from the university community in these reviews. You may contribute to the review process by providing your candid assessment of a senior administrator’s performance using a coversheet and questionnaire that can be found via this link : http://www.umb.edu/chancellor/Sr.AdminReviewForms.html
Completed questionnaires must be submitted by March 13, 2009. Detailed instructions appear on the questionnaires. The review committees and I will consider your comments carefully. Thank you for assisting with these important reviews.
Review Committees
I have consulted with the Faculty Council and will charge three distinguished review committees to assist me by soliciting and analyzing information about the vice chancellors’ administrative knowledge, skills, and accomplishments. I am confident that the committees will help me to conduct fair and thorough reviews.
