Purpose & criteria

The evaluation of a faculty member's performance is recognized as integral to the development of the institution, is used to make decisions about promotion and the awarding of tenure, and serves as a basis for recommendations for merit salary increases. The criteria that are used in evaluating faculty performance are those in Criteria for Reappointment, Promotion and Award of Tenure, Section II, as well as criteria developed by departments and the college/schools. However, since the policies and procedures may be amended from time to time, non-tenured faculty members should consult with the departmental chairperson or the appropriate supervisor concerning current guidelines and criteria.
