Dean Reviews
Fostering successful and effective leadership
In 2022, a committee of faculty, administrators and staff was formed to assess the dean performance review policy and make suggestions for improvement. The committee reviewed best practices for administrative leadership reviews and drew on the expertise of HR staff at Temple. The new policy for dean reviews went into effect September 1, 2023.
Key Objectives
About the new process
360° review

Survey
A confidential survey of staff and faculty in the schools and colleges, conducted by Human Resources and Institutional Research and Assessment
Written materials and metrics
An overview from the dean, any school/college annual reports, and other materials such as strategic plans, accreditation reports, program reviews, and survey data
Midpoint reviews
Held halfway through a dean’s initial appointment, a midpoint review provides more formative feedback at an early career stage
