In compliance with House Bill 250, Section 1(g), effective April 8, 2022, it is the chairperson and dean responsibility to evaluate termed faculty performance annually, and to prepare a written performance review, taking into consideration three categories: 1) Evidence of Quality Teaching Effectiveness; 2) Evidence of Quality Professional Growth and Scholarly Achievement; and, 3) Evidence of Quality Service and Community Contribution. In addition to evaluating faculty performance and productivity, the process shall be used to identify deficiencies and ineffectiveness and redirect faculty efforts to improve or increase productivity.

The process shall be used as a basis for decisions on continued employment, promotion, salary increases, tenure, and maintenance of tenure. All evaluations are conducted ethically, with recommendations and justifications based on relevant documented and verifiable information. It is also our responsibility to ensure that the performance standard evaluation recommendations are consistent with the goals and needs of the university and the areas within your scope of responsibility.
