Appropriate stewardship of resources, cooperation and collaboration toward department, college, and university goals, and the ability to compromise and work to benefit these units and their constituents are expected of academic administrators, as are respect for diverse personalities, perspectives, styles and demographic characteristics, and maintenance of an atmosphere of civility.
The University of North Texas requires regular, ongoing evaluation of academic administrators to improve performance of their administrative roles and assure accountability for the achievement of institutional goals. The assessment is comprehensive and is used in making reappointment decisions. The evaluation process requires performance criteria, self-evaluation, peer evaluation, faculty, and staff input.
