Fourth Probationary Year. The evaluation team shall be responsible for completing a summary evaluation report of the probationary employee. The report shall be based on a summary of all annual evaluations completed during the probationary period including the Year-End Report of Supplemental Hours and Self-Evaluation Report. It is not mandatory at this point in the evaluation process to visit the classroom or conduct student evaluations. The evaluation conference shall occur not later than the end of the fall semester. The purpose of the evaluation conference is to discuss with the probationary employee the results of the evaluation and announce the team's recommendation.
Fourth Probationary Year. Upon formal recommendation of the Tenure Review Committee and with the written consent of the tenure candidate, the Board of Trustees may extend its probationary period for one, two, or three quarters, excluding Summer Quarter, beyond the maximum probationary period established herein. No such extension shall be made, however, unless the Tenure Review Committee's recommendation is based on its belief that the tenure candidate needs additional time to complete satisfactorily a professional improvement plan already in progress and in the committee's further belief that the candidate will complete the plan satisfactorily. At the conclusion of any such extension, the Board of Trustees may award tenure unless the candidate has, in the judgment of the committee, failed to complete the professional improvement plan satisfactorily.
