Re:       Status of Reviews of Central Administration

Section II-28.4b of the Operations Manual provides that:

The Office of the President and the office of each Vice President and the Provost of the University should be reviewed at least once every seven years.  The University President shall consult with the Faculty Council in establishing a schedule of reviews. 

The Operations Manual requires that each office undergoing review will first produce a self-study.  The Review Committee's work begins after the self-study is completed.

The following describes the present status of reviews:

Office of the Vice President for University Relations
