The following document was received from Jack
Rice. It is transmitted to the UO Senate and posted on the web with his
permission.
John Moseley, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs is currently
undergoing a periodic administrative review. Such reviews are typically
conducted on a regular basis (every five years) and are made only after
consulting colleagues both at the University of Oregon and elsewhere.
The review committee, chaired by George Shipman, has already solicited
input from external referees, Deans, present and past chairs of committees
such as the FPC and FAC, and several Officers of Administration. With this
email, the committee invites input from department heads, center, institute
and program directors. We also ask that you share this invitation with
faculty and staff in your unit.
The committee specifically encourages submission of evaluations of Provost
Moseley's performance and leadership over the past five years. If you have
any special observations about Provost Moseley, his achievements or general
stature within the profession and academy, the committee would be pleased
to receive them. Any comparisons of Provost Modeley with peers in academic
administration would be greatly appreciated. For your information, we have
placed Moseley's curriculum vitae and his personal review statement on
the Academic Affairs Web page. The URLs for these two documents are:
Although Oregon law permits full access of a faculty member to his or her
personnel files, Provost Moseley has voluntarily waived in advance his
legal right of access to all review documents, with the expectation that
this waiver will enable referees to prepare thorough and candid evaluations.
. Since this waiver has been reviewed for its legality, I can assure you
that the University will not disclose your comments to Provost Moseley,
although we cannot predict whether challenge in a court might result in
such disclosure. With the waiver, however, Provost Moseley retains his
right to request a substantive summary of all evaluative remarks, carefully
edited to avoid disclosure of the identity of the author.
Evaluations and/or comments will be accepted until March 15, 2000. Signed
written statements may be mailed to George Shipman at the Knight Library.
Alternatively, you may email your comments to Carol White at cwhite@oregon.uoregon.edu
