FACULTY EVALUATION PROCEDURES FOR 2010
(applies to all full-time continuing faculty)

  1. Faculty members complete the Faculty Service to Hope form.
  1. Faculty members meet with chairs to evaluate their performance during the previous year, to set goals for the coming year, and to propose ways by which success in meeting these goals can be determined.
  1. Chairs will complete written recommendations on a separate page for all pre-tenure faculty, and tenured faculty members being proposed for special merit; these recommendations will be appended to the Faculty Service to Hope form. NOTE: To prevent the creation of expectations that we may not be able to meet, chairs are requested NOT to inform individual faculty that he or she will be recommended for special merit. Until the deans and Status Committee can evaluate all the recommendations, there are no guarantees. President Bultman will meet with the Status Committee to review merit & equity recommendations. All those involved in the decisions will appreciate your understanding and support. If you have questions about this process, please consult your dean or the provost.
  1. Chairs will submit written recommendations with supporting rationale to their dean for equity adjustments as appropriate.
  1. Chairs will meet with their dean to discuss each faculty member in their department, particularly those being recommended for special merit and/or equity. Those being recommended for special merit should be listed in priority order with a written explanation for the recommendation.

    SUBMISSION DEADLINE to the dean: January 18, 2010

  2. Deans will prepare a rank-order list of special merit recommendations with an explanation for each recommendation.

    SUBMISSION DEADLINE to the provost: February 1, 2010

  3. The Status Committee receives ranked recommendations for merit and/or equity with justifications from the department chairperson and dean based on the Service to Hope documentation. The committee also has access to all Faculty Service to Hope forms for review.

  4. The Status Committee conducts discussions and meets in turn with each of the deans and makes recommendations for merit/equity increases. The Provost will forward these recommendations to the President for final approval. If there are concerns about any of the recommendations, the President will review them with the Status Committee.

  5. Faculty receiving special merit/equity increases are informed through the contract letter, which will be issued by March 15, 2010.
