FACULTY EMPLOYMENT
EVALUATION

Frequency of Evaluation

All regular faculty members, tenured and non-tenured, will be evaluated annually by the dean (or their designee) and directors. Upon the request of the faculty member under review or the dean and/or director, the evaluation will continue through the full evaluation process. This full process includes review by the appropriate MAU Faculty Evaluation Committee and the Chancellor.

All regular non-tenured faculty members in ACCFT (Article 5) will be evaluated through the full evaluation process in their third and fifth year of service prior to the tenure consideration in their seventh year of service. Members in UNAC (Article 9) will be evaluated through the full evaluation process in their fourth year of service prior to the tenure consideration in their seventh year of service. 

Tenured faculty members in ACCFT (Article 5) will be reviewed through the full process every five years. Members in UNAC (Article 9) will receive an evaluation by the dean or designee at least every three years and will be evaluated through the full evaluation process every 6 years.

Faculty members granted leave must make arrangements prior to taking leave to complete their evaluation files by the deadline for the beginning of the review process. Response times to evaluations will be extended by a minimum of two weeks for faculty on leave. Faculty members are advised against taking leave in a year in which they are scheduled to undergo the full evaluation process.

Service Credit

A partial year of service that includes at least one full semester of faculty service (e.g., as in a midyear faculty appointment) may be credited as a full year of service for purposes of eligibility for consideration for promotion, tenure, and sabbatical leave. If such credit is used for sabbatical leave, it must also be used for tenure. Such credit must be applied for in writing by the faculty member within six months of appointment.
