The Office of Academic Affairs independently and primarily evaluates faculty portfolios (as described in Section III.D.1.d, III.D.2.b.1-2, and III.D.2.c.1-3 of the Faculty Handbook) to assess the work of faculty members in achieving the mission and goals of the department and University and in light of the faculty member's specific roles within the institution. The OAA shall submit a recommendation with evidence-based rationale in writing to the President of the University for all faculty who are completing their third year of teaching or for whom a promotion or tenure decision is made. Overwhelming evidence must exist and be duly referenced in the recommendation in order to refute the evaluative narrative developed in the faculty member's portfolio. The OAA and the President shall confer to make a final decision in cases of promotion and tenure to be submitted to the Board of Trustees.

Supporting Narrative

Faculty member demonstrates an expected high level of achievement for their position and, if relevant, satisfactory progress toward tenure and/or promotion.
Faculty member deomonstrates a level of achievement but needs to further develop some areas of their professional endeavors to meet expectations and, if relevant, to achieve satisfactory progress toward tenure and/or promotion.
Faculty member demonstrates entirely unacceptable achievement for their position and, if relevant, progress toward tenure and/or promotion is not evident.
