Post-Tenure Review Section 7a of the Regents Policy on Faculty
Tenure Rules and Procedures for Annual and Special
Post-Tenure Review
Post-Tenure Review Required annual review of tenured faculty
Unit head Elected faculty committee
May take place as part of the merit review
Post-Tenure Review Each unit must have a statement of goals and
expectations relative to teaching, research, and service.
Should be sufficiently clear to be able to judge whether someone has met the goals and expectations or is substantially below them
Goals & Expectations Might look at a rolling window of two-to- three
years to look at more average performance Best if they are measureable in some way
G & E: Teaching Examples Scores on Student Rating of Teaching:
Goal to be in the range of “agree” for all six questions for all classes
No less than in the midrange of “somewhat agree” for all six questions for all classes taught in a two-year period
These address being prepared, clear, providing feedback, showing respect for students, students learning, and being interested
G & E: Teaching Examples Peer review standards:
Positive classroom observation once a year Positive review of syllabi
Make curricular contributions by creating new courses, changes to majors/minors, labs, service learning, etc. - perhaps select one of these over a time period
G & E: Research Examples One of these over a two-to-three year window:
Publish a peer-reviewed article, non-peer reviewed article, book chapter, book, etc. for submit one of these for publication
Present a paper or poster at a state or national meeting
Exhibit materials at a show or meeting Publish a curriculum guide Submit a grant proposal Review a book or journal article
G & E: Service Examples Serve on at least one department or campus
committee over the time window Serve your professional association Serve a community organization
Changes over Time If a tenured faculty member has agreed with a
head to redistribute his or her effort, it should be explicit and put in writing. Reduce expectations for research (but don’t
eliminate them)in exchange for increases in service for example
Annual review based on agreed-upon expectations
Head & Faculty Committee Agree – Start Post-Tenure Review
Sign a joint letter Give specific examples of work not meeting
the goals and expectations. Provide a personal improvement plan Give a time period over which change can be
made – not less than 1 year. Provide assistance in achieving the stated
goals
Head & Faculty Committee Agree – Start Post-Tenure Review
May make a recommendation for a re-assignment of duties
Re-Review At end of time period, head and faculty
committee re-review the faculty member identified below goals & expectations.
If s/he met goals, no further action. If s/he did not meet goals, then can move to
special review phase
Special Review Coordinated by the Dean Dean has to agree that the faculty member is
below goals & expectations. Special committee formed
5 people – 1 selected by the faculty member being evaluated; other 4 elected
Can be from other units
Special Review Committee evaluates whether the person
is below goals and expectations. Outcomes:
