Committee Seeks Comments in Regular Review of VP Robert Shepard

Shepard has led alumni affairs and development since 2004

Regular reviews of senior administrators of the university are conducted by a committee that completes a performance review and submits a confidential report to the president.  Such a committee has been appointed by President Richard H. Brodhead to review Vice President for Alumni Affairs and Development Robert Shepard, who has served in his post since 2004. 

Susan Roth, vice provost for interdisciplinary studies, will serve as committee chair.  Other members of the committee include:  Nina King (Athletics); Fritz Mayer (Sanford School of Public Policy); Laurie Patton (Arts & Sciences); Carl Ravin (Private Diagnostic Clinic); Bob Penn (Trustee); and Shep Moyle (Duke Alumni Association/Trustee).

An important part of the review process is the gathering of input from the university's constituencies.  Comments on performance and suggestions for the future are important to the committee's work. 

The committee invites you to share your thoughts by email or letter, or communicate orally to any committee member.  Communication should include the nature of your interactions with Shepard.  The committee will discuss responses and a summary will be included in the written report to the President.  All communications will be kept in confidence by the committee. 

The committee would appreciate receiving your comments by Nov. 18.
