Personnel Handbook: Deans

The deans in the Academic Affairs Area are administrative officers responsible to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs for the proper functioning of their areas of responsibility and the implementation of University policies.

A dean is appointed by the President of the University for a term of three years with the right to succession. Such appointment may be terminated by the President of the University for cause.

In the third year of a dean's term, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs surveys opinion of selected faculty, staff, and administrators concerning the dean's performance in office. The results of this survey are forwarded to the President of the University with the recommendation of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
