Evaluation process under way for performance of provost and vice-president, academic affairs
In accordance with Board of Governors Policy BD-8, which governs the evaluation process of senior academic administrators who have agreed to seek a second term, a committee has been established to evaluate the performance of David Graham during his first term as provost and vice-president, academic affairs.
The Concordia community is invited to make brief written submissions to the committee, based on developed evaluation criteria. Participation in this process is encouraged and appreciated.
