Common use of Performance Appraisal Process Clause in Contracts

Performance Appraisal Process. (8) By the fifth class day after classes reconvene in the Spring Semester, using the university’s faculty activities system, each faculty member will submit to their Department Chairperson or School Director a final report of their accomplishments during the previous calendar year.
