Departmental Evaluation of Tenured Faculty Sample Clauses

Departmental Evaluation of Tenured Faculty. Tenured faculty members will be evaluated by a committee of their departmental peers, excluding the Department Chairperson, during each spring semester. The size and composition of the Peer Evaluation Committee will be determined by each department consistent with the number of faculty members in a department. The Peer Evaluation Committee will select a chairperson who will prepare a summary of the evaluation and provide the faculty member and the Department Chairperson with copies. The evaluation and summary will assess the faculty member's performance since the previous evaluation, including efforts to fulfill goals and plans established at the previous evaluation, and will discuss goals and plans for the next year. In departments where the Department Chairperson is tenured, the Department Chairperson will prepare a written statement indicating whether he or she agrees or disagrees with the evaluation. In departments where the Department Chairperson is untenured, the Xxxx will prepare a written statement indicating whether he or she agrees or disagrees with the evaluation. The faculty member may indicate, in writing, any differing opinion about the content of the Peer Evaluation Committee's summary and/or the statement of the Department Chairperson or Xxxx. Such written opinion will become part of the summary statement. The Department and faculty member will each retain a copy of the summary statement. By April 30 of each year, the Department Chairperson will forward all evaluations to the Xxxx, and certify that they have been completed, or explain the reason(s) for any missing evaluations. By May 31 of each year, the Xxxx will forward all evaluations to the Xxxxxxx and Vice President for Academic Affairs for inclusion in the faculty members' official personnel files.
