Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3339 - Miami University › Chapter 3339-12 - Evaluation and Reappointment › Section 3339-12-02 - Appointment, evaluation, and reappointment of academic deans

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
The deans of the Oxford campus academic
				divisions (academic deans) and the dean of the regional campuses are appointed
				by the president upon the recommendation of the provost. The person must
				normally be acceptable to the faculty and to a majority of the department
				chairs in the division or in the case of the dean of the regional campuses to
				the faculty, regional campus coordinators, and chairs of the regional campuses.
				Responsibilities of the academic dean are assigned by the provost.
The initial term of appointment for an
				academic dean or dean of the regional campuses will be five years. A dean who
				has served an initial term may be reappointed for additional term(s), each term
				not to exceed five years. Formal evaluation must precede reappointment to any
				additional term.
Academic deans or the dean of the
				regional campuses wishing reappointment will be evaluated during the final year
				of their appointment (including any years as interim or acting dean). Formal
				evaluation of each academic dean or dean of the regional campuses will be
				conducted by the all-university faculty committee for evaluation of
				administrators in accordance with this policy and by a separate administrative
				evaluation committee to engage those individuals directly responsible to the
				dean, colleagues, and other administrative constituents. For academic deans,
				the administrative evaluation committee will consist of three department chairs
				from that division, elected by the chairs. For dean of the regional campuses,
				the administrative evaluation committee will consist of three regional campus
				coordinators and/or chairs, elected by the regional campus coordinators and/or
				chairs from that campus. The administrative evaluation committee will develop
				the evaluation instrument in cooperation with the dean and the provost. The
				administrative evaluation committee will review the specific results of the
				evaluations in confidence with the provost. Barring a request by the academic
				deans or the dean of the regional campuses not to be reappointed, the
				evaluation will proceed as described in paragraph (D) of rule
				3339-12-05
				of the Administrative Code.
Decisions concerning reappointment will
				be made by the president upon the recommendation of the provost. Reappointment
				of an academic dean will normally be made in conformity with the judgment of
				the faculty and department chairs of the division. Reappointment of the dean of
				the regional campuses will normally be made in conformity with the judgment of
				the faculty, regional campus coordinators, and chairs of that campus. If the
				recommendation for reappointment of an academic dean or the dean of the
				regional campuses is not in conformity with the judgment of faculty and chairs
				(and regional campus coordinators when applicable) a written explanation for
				the discrepancy shall be given.
With the concurrence of the president,
				the provost may at any time reassign an academic dean or the dean of the
				regional campuses to the faculty. Reasons for reassignment include, but are not
				limited to, failure to perform duties in a satisfactory manner; violation of
				university rules, regulations or policies and/or directives of the board of
				trustees; and/or violation of professional ethics or commission of an illegal
				act. In the event the reasons supporting reassignment also constitute grounds
				for discipline or termination, the provost may, in addition to reassignment,
				pursue discipline or termination under rule
				3339-8-03
				of the Administrative Code.
