Five-Year Decanal Review: Dean Adrian Parr Zaretsky

The performance of each dean will be reviewed annually, and a comprehensive review will be completed during the fifth year of service. These reviews will be conducted by the provost, who will ensure objectivity, balance, and fairness. The purpose of the five-year review is to evaluate the leadership of the dean and how the unit has progressed during their tenure as dean. Five-year reviews will include input from faculty and relevant stakeholders, which may include external groups where appropriate. Five-year reviews provide an opportunity to gather broad input on long-term contributions and future goals. The review will address all aspects of the dean’s leadership and unit responsibilities, including administration of the unit and responsible stewardship of college budget; commitment to values-aligned leadership, including an ongoing commitment to diversity as a core principle of academic excellence within the school/college; effectiveness in carrying out the university and unit mission; strategic planning; successful fundraising and donor relations; alumni and community relations; and other functions appropriate to the dean’s assigned responsibilities and the needs of the unit. The goal is a comprehensive review highlighting areas of the dean’s strengths and areas for continued growth. The five-year review is guided by a set of key metrics for administrative expectations to help standardize the review process.
