Here are the questions that the department heads are asking the associate dean candidates. I will answer each of these questions in the next several weeks.
- What should the role of scholarship be at our institution?
- What role should assessment play? How is this related to curriculum review and development?
- If you and the dean disagreed on an issue, how would you handle this?
- How would you promote better teaching in the college?
- What is your view of the graduate programs in the college?
- What experience do you have with working with institutional data in the decision making process for issues such as enrollment management and determining faculty lines?
- What is your view of the college’s “brand”?
- For the issues that you are not familiar, how would you ‘get up to speed’?
Others that could/should be asked:
- Do you have experience with setting an academic budget?
- What would be your primary mechanisms for acquiring resources for the program?
