(July 2003 – June 2005) Each year, on or before September 1st of the year of award, the university Deans shall rank order performance (highest performance is #1) with written rationale attached, for all Academic Administrators entrusted to their supervisory stewardship and forward the rank ordered roster and accompanying rationale to the Xxxxxxx.
