Common use of Timeline for Evaluation Clause in Contracts

Timeline for Evaluation. Each faculty member who is being evaluated for his or her annual/biennial evaluation shall submit to the Chair, three (3) weeks after the beginning of the Fall semester, a Report of Faculty Activities applicable to their rank. The Report shall present the faculty member's activities in the areas of teaching and advising, scholarship, and service over the past academic year. While documentation of these activities is not required in the report, the faculty member is responsible for maintaining such documentation in his or her office and supplying the documentation upon request. In addition, faculty members shall submit updated current curriculum vitae to the Chair, who shall forward it to the Xxxx, VPAA, and Human Resources. 1. The faculty member, by the end of the third week of the Fall semester, will submit a Report of Activities for consideration first by the faculty peers in his or her academic unit, then by the Chair, and finally, by the Xxxx. Tenure-track faculty may decline to evaluate their peers. Tenured faculty members are required to evaluate their colleagues, except in cases of a clear conflict of interest. If a non-tenured faculty member declines to review a colleague or it is determined that a tenured faculty member has a conflict of interest, that faculty member is not to provide a review and is to abstain from any vote regarding reappointment, promotion, or tenure. 2. Peers are to perform both a categorical and narrative evaluation of the faculty member. This means that all faculty members are required to provide written comments supporting their categorical evaluation. 3. Peer evaluations take place between the third and fifth week of the Fall semester. At the end of the fifth week of the Fall semester the peer evaluations are forwarded to the Chair. 4. During weeks six (6) and seven (7) of the Fall semester the Chair performs his or her evaluation. If there are wide discrepancies in the peer evaluations, the Chair will note these and describe how (if at all) these discrepancies were reflected in his or her own evaluation. 5. By the end of week seven (7) of the Fall semester, the transcribed evaluations, including the Chair’s evaluation, shall be sent to the faculty member and discussed in a meeting with the Chair. This meeting takes place during weeks eight (8) and nine (9) of the Fall semester. 6. By the end of week ten (10), the faculty member submits to the Chair any material he wishes to include in response to the evaluation materials discussed in Step 4. 7. At the end of week ten (10), in cases in which the faculty member belongs to an academic Department and the evaluation to this point has been conducted by the Chair, all materials are then forwarded to the Xxxx for review and any appropriate action. 8. In the case of a tenured faculty member, when it has been determined that a serious deficit in performance has been identified, a meeting during weeks 11 and 12 will be held with the faculty member, the Chair (in cases in which the faculty member belongs to an academic Department), and the Xxxx to discuss appropriate action, which may include post tenure review.
