U. of Massachusetts Leader Wants Inquiry Into Performance-Evaluation Leak

June 13, 2011, 9:49 am

Robert C. Holub, the embattled chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, has called on the state’s attorney general to investigate the leak of a confidential evaluation of his performance, The Boston Globe reported today. Citing anonymous sources, the Globe reported last month that a committee evaluating Mr. Holub would recommend his contract not be renewed.

As a state employee, would the committee report be released publically at some point?

It is ironic that this is posted the same day that the Pentagon Papers is fully released today.

Well, I doubt any of us really want to have our supposedly confidential performance evaluations released to the public, although I don’t know that an attorney general will consider it a crime. My former department chair had a habit of talking to students, faculty, staff, alumni, etc. very widely about annual evaluations, student course evaluations, tenure committee discussions, etc. of any faculty or staff members she didn’t like (and giving her own biased slant to things). It may not be a crime but it’s unprofessional, uncollegial, and inappropriate.

Doesn’t confidential mean anything anymore? A confidential review ought to be just that, or the guy shouldn’t engage himself.
