In accordance with Northeastern Illinois University Law (ILCS 680/25-190) Executive Accountability, the Board must complete an annual performance review of the president and any chancellors of the University. Such annual performance review must be considered when the Board contemplates a bonus, incentive-based compensation, raise, or severance agreement for the president or all chancellors of the University.

The President’s annual review is posted on the Board Meeting Materials page with the materials from the meeting at which the evaluation was completed.
