Performance Criteria for Reappointment, Tenure, and Promotion Sample Clauses

Performance Criteria for Reappointment, Tenure, and Promotion. The following broad and inter-related criteria shall be considered in assessing candidates for reappointment, tenure and promotion. For annual reappointment, prior to tenure, these criteria are flexible and are meant to serve as general guidelines. Not all criteria must be met each year for reappointment. For tenure, each of the general criteria must be met. The criteria for Reappointment, Tenure, and Promotion are as follows: a. Satisfactory performance of faculty duties and evidence of effective teaching as documented by self, administrative and student evaluations, and peer observations or, in the case of non-teaching faculty, satisfactory performance of duties. b. Ongoing and meaningful professional development related to pedagogy and/or the individual’s discipline. Appropriate professional development varies by department and discipline and should be determined by colleagues in the same or similar fields. c. Evidence of College and community contributions which entail sustained faculty involvement in service activities such as committees, projects, peer training, student life engagement, community engagement in one’s area of expertise, College partnerships, and/or leadership roles in any of the above. It is understood that the quantity and scope of service contributions will increase with years of service towards tenure. d. For tenure, a combination of teaching excellence, professional development, and service at a level that inspires confidence in the faculty member’s ability to sustain his or her contributions to the College post-tenure.
