Approval of revisions to the faculty evaluation process.

House Bill 250 (HB 250), an act relating to Kentucky State University, was signed into law on April 8, 2022.

On July 15, 2022, the KSU Board of Regents approved an action to allow HB 250-mandated policies and procedures for employee evaluations to include post-tenure reviews. However, with additional administrative and faculty input, revisions to the process are recommended to refine the faculty evaluation rubric and process.

The revised faculty evaluation process will be the basis for subsequent annual revisions, third-year review, and post-tenure review. The performance evaluation will support decision-making relative to continuous improvement.

Future performance evaluations will require faculty to provide planned performance criteria for the academic year. Once the criteria are approved based on University and discipline-level requirements, they will serve as the basis for faculty performance evaluation.

The revised evaluation process accesses the performance of tenured, tenure-track, and term faculty. The revised evaluation process requires documented evidence for evaluating faculty in three areas: teaching effectiveness, high-impact practices in scholarship, and University and community service.

There are no budgetary implications.

Interim President Ronald A. Johnson recommends that the Board of Regents approve the revised faculty evaluation process.

Approve the revised faculty evaluation process.
