policy at the end of paragraph 7 (D&P 16390). Paragraph 7 provides that
for administrators whose administrative appointment is reviewed every sixth
year, the evaluation under the proposed shall be scheduled in the same year.
The change I have made provides that these two reviews shall be coordinated

I am most appreciative of the CommitteeÕs diligence in finalizing the proposed policy to meet our deadlines. "I have approved the policy and now ask your approval. We believe that it is consistent with the UT System Guidelines for Periodic Performance Evaluation of Tenured Faculty that were approved by the Board of Regents on November 17, 1996, and amended on August 14, 1997. The issue of termination of a faculty member is not written into The UniversityÕs policy but we understand that the UT System Guidelines and RegentsÕ Rules and Regulations are controlling should it be determined that a faculty member should be terminated based upon a review made under the policy on periodic evaluation of tenured faculty." |
