(1) The board of trustees is charged by the Revised Code to employ and compensate the university president. It is therefore the board's responsibility to periodically evaluate the president to insure that the president is providing effective leadership and performing at the highest level.
(2) The purposes of the board's evaluation of the president are as follows:
(a) To assess the effectiveness of the president;

The recommendations may include compensation adjustments and other employment terms, as deemed appropriate. Any compensation adjustment or other employment term that modifies the president's employment agreement shall require full board approval.
