Off Site Committee Review Findings

A review of PVAMU’s administrative and academic officers’ credentials and organizational chart provided partial information to make a determination regarding the qualifications of the institutions’ officers. Position descriptions for each administrative and academic officer identified on the organizational chart should be provided in addition to qualifications. The institution has a process in place to evaluate administrative and academic officers.

Prairie View A& M Response to Off Site Review

Position descriptions for each administrative and academic officer are available and accessible via the PV PAWS (Position Attribute Web Site) system [1] in the Office of Human Resources. The Office of Human Resources implemented the PV PAWS system in 2006 to replace and eliminate the paper system previously used and to facilitate efficiency. The PV PAWS system is a web based system that allows all departments to complete and store position descriptions online, create new and reclassify existing positions online, update employee position descriptions during the annual performance evaluation process, electronically route position requests for approval, view current status of pending requests online and view the history of approved requests.

Position descriptions are reviewed and/or updated during the annual performance evaluation process [2]. Updated position descriptions for PVAMU administrative and academic officers are listed in the chart below.
