Professional Competence. Competence in teaching is a necessity for awarding tenure to teaching faculty. Although student evaluations are intended primarily for use in faculty self-improvement, numerical summary data of student ratings shall be included and considered in all tenure decisions. No single item, or small subset of items, on the student rating forms shall be used as the sole basis for a tenure decision. Student ratings should not be the sole source of information about teaching competence, and it is the responsibility of the faculty member to provide additional evidence of competence. Western shall seriously consider all such evidence submitted by a faculty member in conjunction with numerical summaries of student ratings in making tenure decisions. Insofar as they are related to the individual faculty member's teaching of assigned courses, successful efforts by the faculty member at curriculum development, teaching innovations, and continuing self-education shall be included in the evaluation. Competence in performance of other professional duties appropriate to certain units such as the University Libraries and faculty with work assignments in Counseling Services at Sindecuse is correspondingly a necessity for the attainment of tenure of faculty whose responsibility is other than classroom teaching. Attainment of various levels and forms of licensure and certification may be considered as constituting professional competence.
