CHAPTER I Purview The ֱֻ document, Faculty Appointment and Evaluation Policies, supplements the Board of Regents (BOR) policies and describes the purpose, conditions, eligibility, and other specifications relating to the evaluation of faculty at the ֱֻ (UAF). Contained herein are regulations and procedures to guide the evaluation processes and to identify the bodies of review appropriate for the university. The university, through the UAF Faculty Senate, may change or amend these regulations and procedures from time to time and will provide adequate notice in making changes and amendments. These regulations shall apply to all of the units within the ֱֻ, except in so far as extant collective bargaining agreements apply otherwise. The provost is responsible for coordination and implementation of matters relating to procedures stated herein. CHAPTER II Initial Appointment of Faculty A. Criteria for Initial Appointment Minimum degree, experience and performance requirements are set forth in UAF Faculty Appointment and Evaluation Policies, Chapter IV. Exceptions to these requirements for initial placement in academic rank or special academic rank positions shall be submitted to the chancellor or chancellors designee for approval prior to a final selection decision. B. Academic Titles Academic titles must reflect the discipline in which the faculty are appointed. C. Process for Appointment of Faculty with Academic Rank Deans of schools and colleges, and directors when appropriate, in conjunction with the faculty in a unit, shall observe procedures for advertisement, review, and selection of candidates to fill any vacant faculty position. These procedures are set by UAF Human Resources and the Campus Diversity and Compliance (AA/EEO) office and shall provide for participation in hiring by faculty and administrators as a unit. D. Process for Appointment of Faculty with Special Academic Rank Deans and/or directors, in conjunction with the faculty in a unit, shall establish procedures for advertisement, review, and selection of candidates to fill any faculty positions as they become available. Such procedures shall be consistent with the universitys stated AA/EEO policies and shall provide for participation in hiring by faculty and administrators in the unit. E. Following the Selection Process The dean or director shall appoint the new faculty member and advise him/her of the conditions, benefits, and obligations of the position. If the appointment is to be at the professor level, the dean/director must first obtain the concurrence of the chancellor or chancellors designee. F. Letter of Appointment The initial letter of appointment shall specify the nature of the assignment, the percentage emphasis that is to be placed on each of the parts of the faculty responsibility, mandatory year of tenure review, and any special conditions relating to the appointment. This letter of appointment establishes the nature of the position and, while the percentage of emphasis for each part may vary with each workload distribution as specified in the annual workload agreement document, the part(s) defining the position may not. CHAPTER III Periodic Evaluation of Faculty A. General Criteria Criteria as outlined in UAF Faculty Appointment and Evaluation Policies, Chapter IV, AND DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES UNIT CRITERIA, STANDARDS AND INDICES, evaluators may consider, but shall not be limited to, whichever of the following are appropriate to the faculty members professional obligation: mastery of subject matter; effectiveness in teaching; achievement in research, scholarly, and creative activity; effectiveness of public service; effectiveness of university service; demonstration of professional development and quality of total contribution to the university. For purposes of evaluation at UAF, the total contribution to the university and activity in the areas outlined above will be defined by relevant activity and demonstrated competence from the following areas: 1) effectiveness in teaching; 2) achievement in scholarly activity; and 3) effectiveness of service. Bipartite Faculty Bipartite faculty are regular academic rank faculty who fill positions that are designated as performing two of the three parts of the universitys tripartite responsibility. The dean or director of the relevant college/school shall determine which of the criteria defined above apply to these faculty. Bipartite faculty may voluntarily engage in a tripartite function, but they will not be required to do so as a condition for evaluation, promotion, or tenure. B. Criteria for Instruction A central function of the university is instruction of students in formal courses and supervised study. Teaching includes those activities directly related to the formal and informal transmission of appropriate skills and knowledge to students. The nature of instruction will vary for each faculty member, depending upon workload distribution and the particular teaching mission of the unit. Instruction includes actual contact in classroom, correspondence or electronic delivery methods, laboratory or field and preparatory activities, such as preparing for lectures, setting up demonstrations, and preparing for laboratory experiments, as well as individual/independent study, tutorial sessions, evaluations, correcting papers, and determining grades. Other aspects of teaching and instruction extend to undergraduate and graduate academic advising and counseling, training graduate students and serving on their graduate committees, particularly as their major advisor, curriculum development, and academic recruiting and retention activities. 1. Effectiveness in Teaching Evidence of excellence in teaching may be demonstrated through, but not limited to, evidence of the various characteristics that define effective teachers. Effective teachers a. are highly organized, plan carefully, use class time efficiently, have clear objectives, have high expectations for students; b. express positive regard for students, develop good rapport with students, show interest/enthusiasm for the subject; c. emphasize and encourage student participation, ask questions, frequently monitor student participation for student learning and teacher effectiveness, are sensitive to student diversity; d. emphasize regular feedback to students and reward student learning success; e. demonstrate content mastery, discuss current information and divergent points of view, relate topics to other disciplines, deliver material at the appropriate level; f. regularly develop new courses, workshops and seminars and use a variety of methods of instructional delivery and instructional design; g. may receive prizes and awards for excellence in teaching. 2. Components of Evaluation Effectiveness in teaching will be evaluated through information on formal and informal teaching, course and curriculum material, recruiting and advising, training/guiding graduate students, etc., provided by: a. systematic student ratings, i.e. student opinion of instruction summary forms, and at least two of the following: b. narrative self-evaluation, c. peer/department chair classroom observation(s), d. peer/department chair evaluation of course materials. FACULTY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES ARE REQUIRED TO TEACH ALL LEVELS OF THEIR LANGUAGE, AND OFTEN HAVE UNUSUALLY HIGH TEACHING LOADS. THUS, EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING IS THE DEPARTMENTS HIGHEST PRIORITY. EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH AND SERVICE CANNOT COMPENSATE FOR AN INSUFFICIENT TEACHING RECORD. UNTENURED FACULTY MEMBERS WILL HAVE A YEARLY PEER EVALUATION OF THEIR TEACHING, EITHER BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR OR ANOTHER FACULTY MEMBER. PEER AND STUDENT EVALUATIONS WILL BOTH BE CONSIDERED WHEN JUDGING A CANDIDATES TEACHING RECORD. THE CANDIDATE MUST ADDRESS CONSISTENTLY LOW STUDENT EVALUATIONS IN HIS OR HER SELF-NARRATIVE. C. Criteria for Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity Inquiry and originality are central functions of a land grant/sea grant/space grant university and all faculty with a research component in their assignment must remain active as scholars. Consequently, faculty are expected to conduct research or engage in other scholarly or creative pursuits that are appropriate to the mission of their unit, and equally important, results of their work must be disseminated through media appropriate to their discipline. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize the distinction between routine production and creative excellence as evaluated by an individual's peers at the University of ֱֻ and elsewhere. 1. Achievement in Research, Scholarly and Creative Activity Whatever the contribution, research, scholarly or creative activities must have one or more of the following characteristics: a. They must occur in a public forum. b. They must be evaluated by appropriate peers. c. They must be evaluated by peers external to this institution so as to allow an objective judgment. d. They must be judged to make a contribution. 2. Components of Research, Scholarly and Creative Activity Evidence of excellence in research, scholarly, and creative activity may be demonstrated through, but not limited to: a. Books, reviews, monographs, bulletins, articles, proceedings and other scholarly works published by reputable journals, scholarly presses, and publishing houses that accept works only after rigorous review and approval by peers in the discipline. ALL PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS SHALL BE CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT. THIS INCLUDES NOT ONLY THE WRITING OF JOURNAL ARTICLES AND BOOK CHAPTERS BUT ALSO ANY PEER-REVIEWED TRANSLATION OF ARTICLES, BOOKS OR JOURNAL VOLUMES, AS WELL AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO TEXTBOOKS AND OTHER PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES. b. Competitive grants and contracts to finance the development of ideas, these grants and contracts being subject to rigorous peer review and approval. c. Presentation of research papers before learned societies that accept papers only after rigorous review and approval by peers. PRESENTATIONS AT CONFERENCES ARE ENCOURAGED AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VALID PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH ACTIVITY. HOWEVER, TRAVEL FUNDING EITHER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OR OUTSIDE SOURCES IS OFTEN UNAVAILABLE. THE CANDIDATE SHOULD ADDRESS THE FREQUENCY OF CONFERENCE PRESENTATION AND AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING IN HER/HIS NARRATIVE STATEMENT. d. Exhibitions of art work at galleries, selection for these exhibitions being based on rigorous review and approval by juries, recognized artists, or critics. e. Performances in recitals or productions, selection for these performances being based on stringent auditions and approval by appropriate judges. f. Scholarly reviews of publications, art works and performance of the candidate. g Citations of research in scholarly publications. h. Published abstracts of research papers. i. Reprints or quotations of publications, reproductions of art works, and descriptions of interpretations in the performing arts, these materials appearing in reputable works of the discipline. j. Prizes and awards for excellence of scholarship. k Awards of special fellowships for research or artistic activities or selection of tours of duty at special institutes for advanced study. l. Development of processes or instruments useful in solving problems, such as computer programs and systems for the processing of data, genetic plant and animal material, and where appropriate obtaining patents and/or copyrights for said development. m. PUBLICATIONS IN FOREIGN JOURNALS ARE STANDARD IN THE DISCIPLINE. CANDIDATES WILL SUPPLY A TRANSLATION OF THE TITLE OF ANY WORK IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH AND ARE ENCOURAGED TO PROVIDE AN ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH AS WELL AS A DESCRIPTION OF THE JOURNAL. D. Criteria for Public and University Service Public service is intrinsic to the land grant/sea grant/space grant tradition, and is a fundamental part of the universitys obligation to the people of its state. In this tradition, faculty providing their professional expertise for the benefit of the universitys external constituency, free of charge, is identified as public service. The tradition of the university itself provides that its faculty assumes a collegial obligation for the internal functioning of the institution; such service is identified as university service. 1. Public Service Public service is the application of teaching, research, and other scholarly and creative activity to constituencies outside the ֱֻ. It includes all activities which extend the faculty members professional, academic, or leadership competence to these constituencies. It can be instructional, collaborative, or consultative in nature and is related to the faculty members discipline or other publicly recognized expertise. Public service may be systematic activity that involves planning with clientele and delivery of information on a continuing, programmatic basis. It may also be informal, individual, professional contributions to the community or to ones discipline, or other activities in furtherance of the goals and mission of the university and its units. Such service may occur on a periodic or limited-term basis. Examples include, but are not limited to: a. Providing information services to adults or youth. b. Service on or to government or public committees. c. Service on accrediting bodies. d. Active participation in professional organizations. e. Active participation in discipline-oriented service organizations. f. Consulting. g. Prizes and awards for excellence in public service. h. Leadership of or presentations at workshops, conferences, or public meetings. i. Training and facilitating. j. Radio and TV programs, newspaper articles and columns, publications, newsletters, films, computer applications, teleconferences and other educational media. k. Judging and similar educational assistance at science fairs, state fairs, and speech, drama, literary, and similar competitions. l. TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENTS FOR THE PUBLIC 2. University Service University service includes those activities involving faculty members in the governance, administration, and other internal affairs of the university, its colleges, schools, and institutes. It includes non-instructional work with students and their organizations. Examples of such activity include, but are not limited to: a. Service on university, college, school, institute, or departmental committees or governing bodies. b. Consultative work in support of university functions, such as expert assistance for specific projects. c. Service as department chair or term-limited and part-time assignment as assistant/associate dean in a college/school. d. Participation in accreditation reviews. e. Service on collective bargaining unit committees or elected office. f. Service in support of student organizations and activities. g. Academic support services such as library and museum programs. h. Assisting other faculty or units with curriculum planning and delivery of instruction, such as serving as guest lecturer. i. Mentoring OF FACULTY. j. Prizes and awards for excellence in university service. k. OUTSIDE REVIEWER ON THESIS COMMITTEES. 3. Professional Service a. Editing or refereeing articles or proposals for professional journals or organizations. b. Active participation in professional organizations. c. Active participation in discipline-oriented service organizations. d. Committee chair or officer of professional organizations. e. Organizer, session organizer, or moderator for professional meetings. f. Service on a national or international review panel or committee. 4. Evaluation of Service Each individual faculty members proportionate responsibility in service shall be reflected in annual workload agreements. In formulating criteria, standards and indices for evaluation, promotion, and tenure, individual units should include examples of service activities and measures for evaluation appropriate for that unit. Excellence in public and university service may be demonstrated through, e.g., appropriate letters of commendation, recommendation, and/or appreciation, certificates and awards and other public means of recognition for services rendered.
