All faculty members will receive annual performance evaluations by the Dean or his/her designee. Supplementary evaluation methods will include evaluations by students and self. The main objective of evaluations is to encourage and recognize high quality work from its faculty as well as to enhance faculty member’s strengths and correct any weakness. Annual performance evaluations also serve to clarify the faculty member’s duties and responsibilities. Results from both primary and supplementary evaluation sources will be considered for the purposes of raises, bonuses, promotions and/or tenure.
New faculty will receive performance evaluations during the first two months of employment. Annual evaluations will be completed between September 1 and November 30 or during the month preceding the employment anniversary date of hire. All evaluations will be recorded on standardized evaluation instruments approved by the President of the Faculty Senate or his/her designee for that purpose. All evaluation results will be maintained in a personnel file established for each faculty member and preserved permanently in the faculty member’s employment record.
