Faculty Rights and Responsibilities
Annual Faculty Evaluation
Approved by the Faculty Senate April
5, 2004 and the General Faculty May 18, 2004 and the Provost
May 3, 2004.
Applies to all full-time faculty members who do not have
administrative appointments and who are not represented by
collective bargaining.
The purpose of a university evaluation process is to help
faculty members improve their professional development and
to inform decisions about merit pay, reappointment, promotion
and dismissal.
The Department Chair or a Dean shall conduct an annual written
evaluation of every full-time faculty member based on criteria
directly related to the individuals' work assignment and
communicated in writing to the faculty member before the
beginning of the evaluation period or before the beginning
of a changed work assignment that requires new criteria. After
conducting the evaluation, the Department Chair/Dean will
send to each faculty member a copy of his/her evaluation.
To prepare for the evaluation, the faculty member will submit
to the Chair/Dean a report of her/his teaching and other
assigned duties during the previous calendar year using the
approved department/college form.
A faculty member who disagrees with the evaluation may send
a written response to the Chair/Dean. This rebuttal
shall become part of the original evaluation, forwarded to
all entities that received a copy of the evaluation and kept
in the permanent department or college office file. |
