This document — based on the ������-AA process — provides an overview of the provost’s dean assessment process, and how it informs reappointment decisions.

Academic Deans are appointed for a term of five years, renewal once. The provost (working with members of the provost office team and other relevant offices, such as the Office of Human Resources and the Equity, Civil Rights and Title IX Office), evaluates the performance of each dean in a variety of ways and at a number of junctures.

1. Key Qualities
   Deans are expected to demonstrate a number of qualities, listed below. This list, explicitly discussed with new deans during their on-boarding, is included in annual reviews and is the framework for the surveys conducted during mid-term reviews.
   1. Academic leadership and vision:
      1. In addition to longer-term vision for the college, deans are responsible for delivery of a high-quality academic experience for students, and stimulation of innovative, high-impact research, scholarship, or creative work by faculty.
   2. Good management, including:
      1. accessibility and visibility to members of their college
      2. demonstrated track record of follow through and “getting things done”
   3.  Successful resource development, and efficient usage of resources
   4. Responsiveness to university priorities and challenges
