To maintain continuity in Auburn’s academic work, certain existing academic committees will continue their responsibilities for the time being. Relevant committee chairs have been informed and asked to notify members accordingly. As the transition proceeds, the name, composition, structure, scope, function, and other aspects of these particular committees will be reviewed and revised as needed to align with Board policy and the University’s new academic advisory framework.

Administrator Evaluation

The committee shall oversee and/or conduct a periodic evaluation of University administrators involved in the University's teaching, research, and extension programs and provide a report of aggregate data to the Presidential Academic Advisory Council.

Membership

The Committee on Administrator Evaluation shall be composed of 7 members: five faculty members, one representative designated by the Provost and holding faculty rank and tenure, and one staff member nominated by the Staff Council. The Chair is selected from the five faculty members.
