Procedures for Review of the President for Renewal

Annual reviews of the President may be undertaken at the discretion of the Chair. In addition, when the Board has entered a long term contract with the President (e.g., 5 years), and is considering extending the contract, the Chair will establish a committee to conduct a comprehensive review of the President’s performance at least 18 months prior to the completion of the contractual term.

The review committee: the committee will consist of the Chair of the Board, a lay member of the Board, a representative elected by the Faculty, a representative elected by the Staff, a representative of the Corporation of Owners.

a) The committee will acquaint itself with the mandate of the President, make suggestions for the review and devise a review questionnaire.
b) The committee will request the incumbent to prepare an outline of accomplishments during the term that is ending and a description of the directions to be pursued during a further term. This should include areas of the mandate which have not been fulfilled and which need improvement, a statement of direction and vision, and suggestions on how the College could aid in these areas.
c) The committee will consider information based on the document prepared by the incumbent and other available information (e.g., Qualities of the President, Mandate for the President of Campion College (policy 3.3), any annual reviews; the committee will call for input from members of the University (e.g., Presidents of the University of Regina, Luther College, First Nations University of Canada, and St. Thomas More College, Saskatoon), the community (e.g., Executive Director, Universities, Ministry of Advanced Education) and archdiocese (e.g., the Archbishop), the Faculty and Staff through personal interviews by members of the committee, and the Jesuit Provincial.
d) The incumbent will be assessed on such key leadership items as i) knowledge of and suitability for the Office of President, ii) dependability, iii) adaptability, iv) interpersonal relations, v) commitment to professional growth, vi) resource and personnel management, and vii) institutional loyalty, as well as any other criteria as identified by the committee.
e) Following a review of the input received, the committee will prepare a draft recommendation for the Board to be discussed with the President. This will include any recommendations for change of the mandate.
f) The committee will make its recommendation to the Board.
g) These matters are to be kept confidential within the review committee.
