Faculty Evaluation Committees (MAU Level)

The faculty evaluation committees will submit written recommendations to the Office of the Provost on all retention, promotion, tenure, and sabbatical applications presented to it. Copies of the recommendations will be sent to all affected faculty members. If the committee fails to make recommendations by the specified date, the evaluation process will continue to the next level.

Faculty evaluation committees for UNAC are formulated according to the collective bargaining agreement (Article 9.2.5 (e)).

The UAFT Evaluation Committee shall be composed of five tenured associate or professor UAS faculty members, each selected in accordance with the following procedures:

1. Qualification for service occurs upon achieving tenured associate or professor status; a faculty member standing for evaluation, promotion, or tenure or applying for sabbatical leave is not eligible to serve on the Evaluation Committee.
2. Five members are selected from the top of randomly ordered service lists of those qualified.
3. Maintenance of the service lists is managed by the Faculty Senate President in association with the Provost with pertinent information supplied by the Dean and is arranged as follows:
   (a)  Those having completed service in a prior year are placed at the bottom of the list.
   (b)  Those not serving because of "(1)" above or other special reason maintain their position on a list until qualified or able to serve. Those required to serve in the stead of others will complete a two-year period of service on the committee.
   (c)  Those becoming tenured faculty members at the rank of associate or professor are added to the bottom of the list before members of the concluding evaluation committee.
4. Distribution of the five members shall be:
   (a)  comprised of five (5) bipartite faculty with at least one (1) bipartite member from an extended campus or vocational program.
   (b)  Alternates are selected from the top of the service lists from the appropriate category on an as needed basis.
   (c)  At the first meeting of the whole for the year, usually at the August convocation, the committee will elect a chair from its membership.
