Central Washington University Board of Trustees May 15, 2025 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – President’s Evaluation Tool and July Board Retreat President’s Evaluation Tool
State law (RCW 28B.35.120) charges the boards of trustees of public comprehensive universities with employing the president of the university. As you know, the CWU board holds this responsibility as their paramount duty. Section IV of the president’s employment contract requires the Board of Trustees to conduct an annual assessment of the president’s performance. We have developed an annual evaluation that measures progress toward goals set in July 2024, as well as the president’s capacity to lead Central in a way that enables the institution to thrive in a future that is both challenging and opportunity-rich. The evaluation process is inclusive and will provide constructive insight to the Board of Trustees as well as to the president. We have developed an instrument for this evaluation, and a list of participants who will complete the evaluation instrument. These individuals are selected based on their roles at the university and constitute the shared governance leadership of the various constituents, along with other university administrators. The annual evaluation process will be conducted as it has in the past, with three executive sessions during the July 2025 Board Retreat to complete the evaluation: the first for the president to review his self-evaluation, the second for the Board to discuss the evaluation among themselves, and the third to share their feedback with the president. July Board Retreat The July Board Retreat will be held on the Ellensburg campus July 24 and 25, 2025. The focus of the retreat will be on budget and alternative sources of funding. In addition, we intend to share university updates on several campus areas and initiatives.
The board will walk through the proposed draft agenda.
