Common use of University Criteria Clause in Contracts

University Criteria. No later than January 15 of every even-numbered calendar year, the University shall establish the general criteria for the granting of promotion or reappointment, and provide that criteria to each Department Chair.

(2) The University criteria shall broadly recognize and consist of the following: a. Instruction, including regular classroom and laboratory teaching, classroom development, effective development/application of new instructional methods, directing thesis or dissertation committees, and other instructional activities; b. Research or other creative activities relevant to the department mission, including scholarly publications, support and advising of graduate students; and c. Service to professional societies and contributions to the University and department. (3) The criteria shall also include, but are not limited to: a. a demonstrated record of scholarly activity, teaching, and as appropriate, course and/or curriculum development commensurate with the University’s mission and relevant academic discipline(s); b. evidence of a positive and growing reputation in his/her chosen sub- field within the department’s mission, and; c. promise of continued successful performance. (4) The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will formally request input from the FRC as to the University criteria before providing the finalized University criteria to each Department Chair.
