ANNUAL EVALUATION REPORT OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATIONS

WHEREAS, college and university professors, teachers, and students are constantly evaluated both privately and publicly; and

WHEREAS, governing bodies, administrations, and administrators of colleges and universities have never been rated on a systematic national basis; and

WHEREAS, across the nation worsening and discriminatory economic conditions are resulting in administrative arrogance; and

WHEREAS, an ounce of exposure is worth a pound of grievances:

RESOLVED, that each AFT college or university local shall submit for publication an Annual Evaluation Report of its administration to include, but not be limited to, the following criteria:

• willingness of the administration to bargain collectively in good faith;

• quality of grievance procedure and whether it leads to independent third-party judgment such as final and binding arbitration;

• degree of faculty participation in curricular and program decisions and whether participation is decisive or merely advisory;

• degree, kind, and timeliness of consultation with faculty in budgetary preparation and allocation;

• record of acceptance of faculty personnel decisions;

• effectiveness in supporting faculty and students before either private or public governing bodies;

• student-faculty ratio;

• salaries;

• academic freedom.

That the president of AFT direct the appropriate staff to prepare questionnaires, a point-system for the ratings, and an appropriate format for publication.

That the results be tabulated and published once a year in the American Teacher.
