Letters of EvaluationDear Faculty Evaluation
Committee…

Letters of Evaluation
Intent:
The purpose of letters for the Committee is to give FEC a view of the candidate’s excellence in teaching, service and scholarship, that the portfolio itself does not show, and that FEC committee members may not know.
![Page 15: Faculty Evaluation Committee Workshop](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033104/56812aef550346895d8ed64b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Letters of EvaluationCandidates for promotion and tenure request evaluative
letters from: their department chair (unless candidate is the department
chair – in which case, from the division chair). at least two other faculty members of their choice, one of
whom must be from a different division than the candidate. Candidates for promotion to full professor should include one
letter from someone in their discipline not a member of the College
Candidates notify Lori Tollman regarding the names of the letter writers
NOTE: Full-time non-tenure track faculty (2 letters needed—to include Department Chair and one other faculty from another department)
NOTE: Whenever possible, such letters should not be from members of the Faculty Evaluation Committee.
These letters are submitted to the Dean of Faculty.

Letters of EvaluationOther materials at the discretion of the
candidate: letters from alumni - letters from current
students should not be solicited or included because of the possibility of placing students in a position of a conflict of interest
letters from colleagues outside of the College who can evaluate your standing in your field – especially useful to evaluate scholarship (*Full Professor)
The committee may request additional confidential letters of evaluation from other faculty members.

Letters of Evaluation
Faculty to choose to ask for letters: faculty with whom you have served on committees, team taught, served in the first year advising program, etc., not just a faculty friend, but someone who can write a real evaluation. Someone who has been in your classroom.
Give a list of letter writers to the Dean’s Assistant (Lori Tollman) as soon as possible
Invite them to observe one (or more) of your classes
