SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
PRESIDENTS’ 2009-10 OBJECTIVES
Summary
SBHE Policy 604.1 provides that each president shall prepare annual objectives for the
chancellor’s approval for the twelve-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
The chancellor is to report the presidents’ annual objectives to the SBHE for SBHE
approval.
I have reviewed the objectives submitted by each president and made suggested revisions
as appropriate. I believe the attached objectives satisfy the intent of Policy 604.1 and will
provide the necessary bases for assessing the presidents’ progress and accomplishments
during 2009-10.
Recommendation
I recommend the following motion be adopted by the SBHE:
“The SBHE approves the 2009-10 objectives for each of the NDUS presidents, as set forth
in the attached documents.”
William Goetz, Chancellor
Date of Meeting: November 19, 2009
