A new and more formalized faculty evaluation process (including post-tenure review) is in the process of adoption by the university that includes new standards of accountability for all faculty. A parallel system of accountability is proposed for administration, starting with department heads. Previous work on this issue was completed by a committee of administrators and a subcommittee of the Faculty Handbook Committee in 2017-2018. A new committee comprised of three faculty and three department heads was directed by the Faculty Handbook Committee to complete this task in 2018-2019. The attached proposal reflects the last draft of this committee after consulting with other bodies (see attached)
Therefore, we ask that the University Faculty Senate endorse our recommendations and submit further consultation.
