| Also be consistent when referring to “schools” and “departments.” | Schools is the term used consistently now. |
| Explain how the rubric is incorporated into the evaluation: | See below. |
| a. How much weight does the average scores carry in the overall evaluation? | On page 4 it is now state that the Elected Peer School Committee shall submit dossiers and the Evaluation Rubric Scoring Sheet tally sheet (scored below 2 in any category shall be considered as meeting the threshold for consideration of non-reappointment) and the evaluation recommendations (reappointment or non-reappointment) to the Chairperson in accordance with the deadlines stated herein. |
| b. How do the schools/departments add their criteria to the evaluation? | On page 3 it is now stated that “If these are in addition to the university rubric metrics, these additional measures would also need to be present to the Dean and Provost levels for approval to be added to any evaluation metrics.” |
| c. Are all of the scored items of equal importance, which is implied by the “average score”? For example, how does “submitting a grant” compare with “receiving a grant”? | There are several subcategories that are scored separately, but in the case of the grant example given, the answer would be yes in this specific case. |
| d. How does the rubric address a faculty member’s currency in the courses, the faculty member teaches, not only in the discipline? | There is a rubric for using “up-to-date” course materials. |

| f. Is Advising part of Teaching? Or of Service? Faculty groups often have differing perspective about the nature of advising. | No, it has been moved to the service area. |
| g. How is advising evaluated and reflected in the rubric? | It is evaluated by evidence that the faculty member advises all assigned students with proficiency. |
| h. Where is one-on-one student/faculty engagement (other than in research) reflected in the rubric? Do faculty in freshmen English, for example, have the same opportunity as business, nursing, or education faculty (just a few examples) to oversee an authentic project | This could still be considered research or be captured in the metrics that evaluate “Devises, produces, or performs creative works related to one’s teaching or allied field” and possibly “Presents papers in the teaching or related field for delivery at professional meetings.” |
