About the Annual Review Process

Annual performance evaluations of both tenured and non-tenured faculty is conducted as either an annual review or a pre-promotion (鈥渢hird-year鈥�) review. The reviews are conducted each spring and cover teaching, scholarship, advising, service, and engagement with the holistic college mission during the preceding calendar year. They comprise the following steps:

1. The faculty member submits a self-assessment report to the departmental chairperson. The report consists of a list of academic activities from the previous year and a narrative section which includes a statement of professional goals for the following year. The report is used by the chairs and deans in evaluating performance of individual faculty members.
2. The departmental chairperson schedules a conference with each faculty member to discuss the self-assessment and goals.
3. The departmental chairperson completes an initial written evaluation of faculty members in the department. In the event that the faculty member and departmental chairperson have differences, the faculty member may submit a response to the chairperson鈥檚 comments and both statements are forwarded to the divisional dean.
4. For provisional faculty members, the departmental chairperson and divisional dean arrive at a mutually acceptable statement for transmission, and this is forwarded together with the faculty dossier to the Provost.
