Administrators' Evaluations Set for Fall – Since 2001, administrative employees have been evaluated by their supervisors in March and April to finalize their contracts in May-June. Employee evaluations of administrators in spring cannot be tallied and transcribed in time for a March-April review; for example, supervisory evaluations of administrators this spring will be using employee evaluations of administrators completed in March 2001. So the Administrators' Evaluation Committee, with the approval of Support, Professional and Faculty Senates, has decided to move the evaluation process of administrators to fall. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Linda Gies, Chair of the Administrators' Evaluation Committee, at 562.2642, or by email: linda.gies@enmu.edu.

General Comments

"Until last Monday, I didn't realize I could go to different sections of the Monday Memo – like to the classifieds, or Personnel briefs. Do you think others are not observant also? Maybe on the front page you should mention it so they might say, 'Oh, yah, I didn't see that!'"

"I especially enjoyed 'The Full Bronzy.' Keep up the good work!"

"Excellent job on the video clip. Very professional."

"The TV spot comes across very well. These new options for the Monday Memo are great!"
