Standard III. Faculty

III.8 Procedures are established for systematic evaluation of faculty; evaluation considers accomplishment and innovation in the areas of teaching, research, and service. Within applicable institutional policies, faculty, students, and others are involved in the evaluation process.

As described in more detail in other sections, the School mandates the following evaluations of faculty effectiveness:

• Faculty Annual Review (Standard III.2)
• Peer Review of Teaching (Standard III.2)
• OMET Surveys (Standard III.2)
• Promotion and Tenure (Standard V.I.)

(See FAC 5, FAC 6, FAC 7 available on-site, and FAC 8 for guidelines and examples).

These methods involve students, faculty colleagues, the Dean and Associate Dean, and the Provost of the University in the regular and long-term evaluation of faculty achievements. The combination, and consistent use of all of these procedures, produces the feedback necessary for faculty development and success in achieving promotion and tenure.
