Continuing Track Evaluation System

R26M

The evaluation system for teaching faculty on continuing track during the fourth year involves five stages and follows the Schedule of Activities for Evaluation.

Stage 1 involves the creation of a digital portfolio consisting of material drawn from the faculty personnel file as well as additional information included by the candidate. The individual candidate is responsible for seeing that the digital portfolio is in finished form by September 15 so that the process may proceed to stage two.

Stage 2 involves the separate evaluation of this digital portfolio by the respective Chair and Senior Faculty Review Committee. Each independently makes a recommendation regarding continuance and communicates that to the respective Dean.

Stage 3 involves a recommendation on continuance by the Dean to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Stage 4 involves a recommendation on continuance by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs to the President.

Stage 5 involves personnel decisions made by the President of the University.
