identify an “expected” faculty workload for all faculty? (Is this the role of the rubric?) How/when does the school/department determine the workload for each faculty member (building on the University guidelines)?

General Guidelines for Evaluation, p. 3. What is the name of this "committee"? This item is the first reference to an evaluation committee. A lead-in sentence introducing the use of a school/departmental (e.g., Annual Faculty Peer-Evaluation Committee) would add clarity. The statement could note that further reference to this Committee hereafter could be simply "Evaluation Committee."

How are these members selected? What is the process? What are the criteria for membership? Although details may be provided further in the policy, a modifier such as “elected peers” might suffice here.

On pages 2 and 8 it is stated that “ Teaching is weighted at 60%, Scholarly service at 30%, and Service at 10% for the overall scoring of the rubric scoring sheet for faculty.

The committee name is now: Elected Peer Review School committee (EPS). A summary of how the committee is elected is now included.

2022/23 Initial Review of All Faculty, p. 3. "These" may be identified more specifically later. But what documentation is the "Committee" reviewing? What are the options to be recommended?

What clarifying and/additional criteria does the School/Department consider in evaluating the faculty member beyond the rubric? What are the options to be considered for recommendations?

The review on the dossier with the rubric sheets is now described as is the options that can be consider by the School committee for recommendations.

2022/23 Initial Review of All Faculty, p. 4 (Continued). Who completes the rubric? Did the Evaluation Committee arrive at the average scores? Does the Chair? Does the Chair weigh in on the rubric? As asked earlier, what clarifying and/additional criteria does the School/Department consider in evaluating the faculty member?

Added.

The document now states that the School Committee scores the rubric that the Chair only reviews the dossier and the rubric sheet, as well as the recommendation, in making their recommendation.
