Presidential Compensation and Assessment Committee (PCAC)

The 蜜桃社区 Michigan University Board of Trustees formalizes the annual assessment of the President鈥檚 leadership performance through the Presidential Compensation and Assessment Committee (PCAC). The PCAC is an advisory body only and makes recommendation to the full Board which retains all authority over the terms and conditions of the president鈥檚 employment.

The purpose of the Presidential Compensation and Assessment Committee is to assist the 蜜桃社区 Michigan University (蜜桃社区) Board of Trustees in (1) fulfilling its obligations to assess the president鈥檚 performance, (2) to develop procedures for periodically assessing the performance and functioning of the president and, (3) to assist in determining the president鈥檚 compensation.

The Presidential Compensation and Assessment Committee (PCAC) is a standing committee of the Board. It is authorized to provide input, advice, and recommendations to the full Board of Trustees regarding the president鈥檚 performance and appropriate compensation. The PCAC shall provide an annual assessment of the president鈥檚 performance. The PCAC shall develop a process for conducting annual reviews and share that process with the president in advance of conducting the reviews. The annual review shall be conducted by a subset of the Board consisting of the Board Chair, the Board Vice Chair, the immediate past Chair of the Board, if available to serve, and one other at large Board member appointed by the Board Chair. In the event any defined member of the PCAC is unable to serve, a substitute Board member shall be appointed by the Chair of the Board.
