Academic Regulation: 2.xx Responsible Office(s): Provost, Deans, Schools Effective: July 15, 2022
Kentucky State University (KSU), as a matter of principle, complies with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) 1989 “Statement on Procedural Standards in the Renewal or Nonrenewal of Faculty Appointments” and with the AAUP and the Association of American Colleges and Universities “1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure.”
These AAUP statements address policy and procedural expectations for a wide variety of institutions of higher education. With these statements in mind, KSU has established criteria and processes by which all faculty will be evaluated. KSU's new policy addressing HB 250 ensures that processes are clearly articulated and published and are available to all persons in the university community.
KSU's policy for evaluation of all faculty beginning during the year 2022-2023 includes tenured, tenure-track, and non-tenured faculty respects the uniqueness of disciplines within the University and provides for appropriate professional flexibility at College and School levels. This policy is adapted from the faculty evaluation processes of several peer institutions in Kentucky to support the above values.
