Evaluation Committee - Composition and General Rules Sample Clauses

Evaluation Committee - Composition and General Rules. 15.1.7.1 Faculty Evaluation Committees shall be composed of the appropriate immediate manager or his/her designee, the Department Chair or his/her designee, and a peer evaluator. Retired tenured faculty who are serving in a pro rata contract capacity may be considered for the peer role. Each evaluation committee member may serve in only one of these roles. The peer selected in the first year of a probationary faculty member‟s evaluation cycle shall remain on the evaluation committee for each year of the probationary faculty member‟s subsequent evaluation cycles. In every other three (3) year cycle, the evaluation committee for Professor triennial evaluations may consist of a peer only, provided there is mutual agreement of the evaluee and the appropriate manager. The appropriate manager‟s or department chair‟s designee must be acceptable to the faculty member being evaluated. If the designee is not acceptable, the appropriate manager or department chair shall serve on the committee. In cases where the evaluee believes that the appropriate manager or department chair may not be able to perform an objective evaluation due to perceived bias, the evaluee may ask the appropriate Vice President to appoint a replacement. The xxxxxxx‟s claim of perceived bias must be verifiable with concrete evidence. The burden of proof of alleged bias remains with the evaluee.
