Objectives generally do not include specific perfor- mance standards or quantitative references. Goals are statements concerning shorter-term, more specific targets in pursuit of fulfillment of objectives. They generally include both qualitative and quantitative references. Goals generally iden- tify more clearly the activities and tasks to actually be undertaken by an organizational unit, section or position. Standards of Performance are specifications of the conditions that will exist when a job is done acceptably.
Standards usually define the volume, timeliness, and quality of performance.
Standards are established toindicate specifically at what level of performance work would be considered average. Average means the normal level of perfor- mance expected. See Section F below for examples of evaluation tools used by the University. Weighting Assigned is the relative importance of each objective, goal, or task to all objectives, goals, or tasks assigned to a department or position. All weights will total 100.
