Promotion, Tenure, and Advancement

All faculty members (tenured, tenure-eligible, and term, whether fulltime or part-time) will be evaluated annually (July 1 to June 30) for performance appraisal and development on the basis of their PRS (Faculty Handbook Section 3.4). The evaluation is based on scholarship and contributions in teaching; research, creative, and/or innovation activities; extension, entrepreneurship, and/or professional practice; and institutional service as indicated in each individual’s PRS. Each faculty member’s overall performance must be evaluated as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory (Faculty Handbook Section 4.1.1). The annual evaluation will serve as a basis for determining merit salary increases.

Departments and faculty candidates are encouraged to review and adapt the template as needed to best showcase the quality, quantity, and impact of their scholarship and work.
