The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 7A DEAN Continued from Page 1A also Director's department - refused to comment. According to the report, 59 per- cent of the faculty either disagree or strongly disagree that the dean "appropriately weighs the opinions of all segments of the faculty." Sixty-four percent either disagree or strongly disagree that Director "considers faculty views contrary to his own." Director scored lowest in the area of communication, where most facul- ty responses averaged toward the neg- ative. Sixty-six percent of the faculty, with 49 percent strongly disagreeing, believe Director's communication style "does not promote open commu- nication with the faculty." In its 2002 rankings, U.S. News ranked the University's undergradu- ate engineering program fourth in the nation. In 2003, the program fell to sixth. In the 2004 issue, it is ranked seventh. "The rankings do not accu- rately portray everything that's going on in the college," Director said dur- ing Tuesday's birthday celebration. "We need to create an environment that is supportive of an outstanding, diverse faculty." The dean's highest marks highlight his efforts to "raise the visibility and reputation of the school" and "his emphasis on research." "He's to the point. He has tried to increase the stature of the faculty. When I hear criticisms of him, I know it's because he wants some things to happen and some faculty members don't agree," said an anonymous mechanical engineering professor. "What you really need to look at is what has been accomplished, such as the increase in female faculty and the institution of department chairs." But in a survey where faculty members evaluated each question from one to five, where one repre- sents "strongly disagree" and five represents "strongly agree," Director received no score above a 3.94. Most scores straddled the middle, averag- ing between two and 2.9 in some key areas, notably in communication. "The dean's evaluation is meant for a frank discussion among the college faculty, their dean, and the Provost. The AAAC (Academic Affairs Advi- sory Committee) is disappointed since this public disclosure does not help this or future communications," said Bill Schultz, chair of the AAAC, a division of the Senate Assembly that commissions the evaluations. The administration has commis- sioned similar surveys in the past. In the mid-90s the Senate Assembly commissioned the Faculty Senate Office to conduct a similar survey to evaluate the deans of several Univer- sity colleges. At the time, then-Engineering Dean Peter Banks opposed the initia- tive, believing that the survey ought to be conducted within each college. The Senate Assembly saw the need for an evaluation of the faculty's unaffected opinion through a third party survey conducted outside of each dean's jurisdiction. "I think these evaluations are very valuable, just as student evaluations are for courses. We can learn from this to improve communication or content. The numbers speak for them- selves," said a professor in mechani- cal engineering who wished to remain anonymous. 1Brain Food the michigan daily Satisfy your creative hunger at prices that won't starve your budget Visit your on-campus reseller for special Back to School offers.
