Why do we think so? That same day, the Board of Regents agreed to allow Chancellor Davis to create a new presidential performance review process for member institutions. Nothing like getting off to a lightning fast start.
"The new process, based on a so-called 360-degree performance review, will solicit feedback about the president from a variety of people - primarily from the president's home university - but also could include legislators, system office personnel, other system presidents, alumni and foundation members...The review involves collecting feedback about an employee, through interviews or questionnaires, from sources including co-workers, people in other departments, people who report directly to the employee and people outside the organization who regularly interact with the employee. [emphasis added]"
Granted, it may be naive to expect a candid assessment from administrators who are annointed by Adams in exchange for blood oath of loyalty. And you can't get on the new Foundation without the same blood oath. But here's hoping Chancellor Davis has his bullshit filter screwed on tight.
[Photo: Predicted sketch in margin of Adams's 2006 job review.]PT Umphress/R&BHaving never met a publicly-professing Michael Adams supporter, we have assumed the only people who thought Michael Adams was doing a good job for the University of Georgia were the previous chancellors and the "esteemed" members of the Board of Regents. One of whom, a sometime pugilist, chaired the search committee for Adams.
I am not a crook, although Deloitte & Touch disagree.If the Chancellor selects a UGA employee at random, Adams should hope Davis picks a wealthy tee-totaling feminist high-school graduate who is bad at math and hates football.
