Evaluations, Reappointment, and Promotion Procedures

In the normal course, the performance of management faculty will be evaluated in three ways: through the annual report, the application for re-appointment, and the application for promotion. Management faculty members may also be evaluated as needed to address performance concerns.

Section 1. Annual Reports

Management faculty will submit an annual report to their Deans between May 15 and August 30 each year. The annual report is intended be a formative assessment and should summarize and analyze student course evaluation data, teaching experiences, academic support activities, service to the University and outside the University, and scholarship achievements during the past academic year. The annual report should also summarize the management member’s plans for teaching, scholarship, and service for the upcoming academic year. Between May 15 and October 15 of each year, the Dean will discuss the performance plans in all three areas of teaching, scholarship, and service, as well as performance as a manager, with the management faculty member.

Section 2. Reappointments

Management faculty members will be evaluated for reappointment within the same rank according to the schedule and standards set forth in the Contracts and Promotions policy and the following process:

1. Application. A management faculty member applies for reappointment by submitting an application to her/his Dean consisting of the following materials:
   1. Faculty self-assessment – no more than three pages; discusses the management faculty member’s accomplishments, strengths, and challenges in teaching, scholarship, and service since the last appointment or reappointment evaluation.

4. Provost Decision. The Provost reviews the application, Dean’s letter, any written response by the management faculty member, and makes a decision as to reappointment or non-reappointment, which is communicated in writing to the management faculty member.
