53. Administrative Review Process
Given the announcement that the Chancellor will assume the Presidency at Wright State University on July 1, 2017, and
Whereas there is currently no policy about what to do with a survey that is in progress regarding an administrator who has announced his/her resignation, and
The Administrative Review Committee discussed what such policy or procedure could be and proposes the following motion to open a discussion on this topic in the Faculty Senate:
If an administrator being reviewed resigns from the University of Missouri during the review process (but not merely announces a pending resignation or reassignment to another position in the University of Missouri System in the near future), then the survey and all data related to that person’s review be purged.
