A ULPE should possess a wide range of utility. The paper describes six key issues of the ULPE and finally suggests an agenda for action and a scheme that may be useful for evaluating job perrformance of lecturers in Sri Lankan universities. Also the paper may be of value to those who are interested in understanding ULPE for research purposes.
