B6.3 Evaluation of Faculty

A6.3.7 The Chair will hold an annual evaluation interview with each faculty member. At the discretion of the Chair, a Professor, as a faculty member of the most advanced rank, may be evaluated as infrequently as once every three (3) years. The Chair will review the faculty member’s self-evaluation and other evidence of the faculty member’s work such as committee reports and student evaluations and grade distribution. The faculty member and Chair will discuss areas needing improvement and goals which have been set and progress which has been made. The Chair will complete a Chair’s Faculty Evaluation Form emphasizing points not already covered in writing by the faculty member. The faculty member and Chair will sign both Faculty Evaluation forms. After the evaluation interview, the faculty member will have seven (7) calendar days excluding College holidays to write a response, if the faculty member desires, to the Chair’s written evaluation.

The Chair will evaluate Assistant Instructors and other unranked teaching personnel using suitable means as approved by the Vice President. The Faculty Self-evaluation Form, the Chair's Faculty Evaluation Form, and other forms as needed are subject to periodic review and revision under the authority of the Vice President. Specialized forms for evaluating counseling, librarianship, and teaching in settings other than the classroom will be under the approval of the Vice President. The evaluation of counselors and librarians shall include on-the-job observations in lieu of classroom observation.

The President, Vice President, or Dean may direct request that the Chair complete an additional evaluation of a faculty member at any time. The faculty member may request or the Chair may opt for additional evaluations.
