7.8 Post Tenure Review
7.8.1 Tenured faculty shall be reviewed every five years starting with their most recent promotion, unless more frequent reviews are required for accreditation. In cases of clear intention of retirement, faculty may choose not to be reviewed in the last year of service.
7.8.2 Faculty shall be evaluated based on departmental standards for their rank. These departmental standards shall provide for flexibility to allow for fluctuations in the relative emphasis on teaching, scholarship or creative activity, and service across the career life cycle of the individual faculty member. Faculty shall compile an evaluation file with all relevant evidence since their previous review or promotion.
7.8.3 Under no circumstances is a faculty member reviewed without that individual’s knowledge. Faculty members who choose not to be reviewed fail the review.
7.8.4 The review takes place during spring quarter and follows the same process as that for tenure and promotion (Sections 7.7.2.1 through 7.7.2.3) except that the college convenes a review committee. Upon receipt of the committee’s recommendation, the dean shall review the candidate’s file and make a final evaluation. A copy of the evaluation will be sent to the candidate and the department chair.
7.8.5 The faculty member’s performance shall be judged as unsatisfactory, satisfactory, or superior in the areas of teaching, scholarship/creative endeavor, and service.
7.8.6 The performance of a faculty member must be at least satisfactory in each of the three areas: teaching, scholarship or creative activity, and service to the institution and profession. Faculty receiving an unsatisfactory final evaluation in any area will be deemed to have failed the review.
7.8.7 A faculty member who receives an unsatisfactory final evaluation in any area will construct a plan to address the deficiency and will be evaluated again the next year.
7.8.8 Failure to achieve a satisfactory final evaluation for teaching in two consecutive reviews may result in action under Section 18 of this agreement.
