\par \tab Graduate Academic & Advisory Committee, one Dean/

\par \tab instruments, e.g., a standard questionnaire completed 
\par \tab anonymously and returned to the Committee Chair.

\par 2. \tab The Administrator to be evaluated will prepare a narrative 
\par \tab self-evaluation of activities performed during the three-year 
\par \tab period (academic years) prior to the year of evaluation or since 
\par \tab the last evaluation.  This narrative should include reflections 
\par \tab about how adequately s/he has fulfilled responsibilities of 
\par \tab leadership consistent with his/her own performance 
\par \tab expectations and those of faculty, staff, and students in 
\par \tab the unit.  Major or otherwise significant accomplishments 
\par \tab should be highlighted.  Any issues raised in the last evaluation 
\par \tab should be referenced with a view to what progress has been

\par \tab identify a limited set of reasonable goals for the unit over

\par \tab strategies that may be undertaken through his/her

\par \tab comments about the Administrator's performance.
\par 
\par 4.  \tab The Ad Hoc Committee will interview the Administrator either 
\par \tab in person or by conference call.   The interview shall proceed 
\par \tab on the basis of a set of questions which reference the 
\par \tab Administrator's self-evaluation, the results of returned 
\par \tab questionnaires, and the interviews of faculty, staff, and 
\par \tab students.

\par Dear Dr. Box,
\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\f41 I would like to thank both you and Dr. Leguard for taking the time to share with me your concerns, and the concerns of other faculty members, regarding the bookstore\rquote 
s textbook adoption policies.  I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about this matter, and also your offer to pass along to other faculty members this summary of our discussion. 
\par 
\par The most important message I would like to convey is an assurance to you and all of the other faculty members that
 it is not bookstore policy to substitute a textbook of our choosing for the textbook that the instructor has selected.   We realize that the textbook is a valuable learning tool, and that we have neither the knowledge to select that tool for the instruct
o
r, or the right to disrupt the planned learning process by making an unauthorized textbook substitution.  Unfortunately, it appears that several textbook orders for the fall semester were filled with books that were different either in edition or format f
r
om the books that were ordered, without prior knowledge of the instructor.  This is inexcusable and should never happen.  Because of this lapse in communication on our part, the bookstore has developed the following procedure to deal with requested textbo
oks that are no longer available:
\par 
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f41 \hich\af41\dbch\af0\loch\f41 1-\tab}}\pard \fi-360\li720\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx720\ls1\adjustright {\f41 
If a textbook is not available as ordered, no matter what the reason (old edition, out of stock, now bundled with something else, etc\u8230\'c9.) the textbook department will attempt to contact the instructor immediately by phone t
o discuss the textbook options available.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f41 \hich\af41\dbch\af0\loch\f41 2-\tab}If the instructor can\rquote 
t be reached by phone, the textbook department will e-mail both the instructor, and the department administrative assistant. (If an instructor is off contract, or otherwise unavailable via the
 contact points listed in the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ directory, it would be helpful to us if an alternate method of contact is listed on the textbook adoption form.)  
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f41 \hich\af41\dbch\af0\loch\f41 3-\tab}If the textbook department doesn\rquote t hear back from the instructor or the administrative assistant by the tim
e the order needs to be placed for timely arrival, the textbook coordinator will use his best judgment and order the edition the publisher deems a substitute for the edition the instructor has selected, but is no longer available. We will not substitute t
i
tles (only new editions for old editions, bundle packed for textbook only, etc.) and we will only substitute editions if we are advised the edition ordered is no longer available.  The textbook department will then send a notification/explanation letter t
o the department.  
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f41 \hich\af41\dbch\af0\loch\f41 4-\tab}}\pard \fi-360\li720\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx0\ls1\adjustright {\f41 
As a resource, approximately one month prior to the start of the semester, the bookstore will send a report to each department listing all of the books on order for that department.  Books ordered for individual classes can also be viewed on the bookstore
