Evaluation Committee - Composition and General Rules Clause Samples

Evaluation Committee - Composition and General Rules. 15.1.7.1 Faculty Evaluation Committees shall be composed of the appropriate immediate manager or his/her designee, the Department Chair or his/her designee, and a peer evaluator. Retired tenured faculty who are serving in a pro-rata contract capacity may be considered for the peer role. Each evaluation committee member may serve in only one of these roles. The peer selected in the first year of a probationary faculty member’s evaluation cycle shall remain on the evaluation committee for each year of the probationary faculty member’s subsequent evaluation cycles unless the peer is no longer an active District employee.

The appropriate manager will select one (1) peer evaluator from this list of three (3), in consultation with the Department Chair. If, after written request of the appropriate manager, the faculty member who is scheduled for evaluation fails to submit this list of three (3) peer evaluators within ten (10) working days of the request, th...
