Background
![Page 7: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Is the Procedural Deadline Appropriate?
Issue
![Page 8: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. The Procedural Calendar for 2013-2014 makes no reference to either a deadline for portfolio submissions or for filing an intent to apply from faculty to chairs.
Findings
![Page 9: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Handbook changes approved in July 2013 were not published until 15 November 2013. • Regular members of the faculty did not
have ready access to these changes until then.
Findings
![Page 10: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Even those who were aware that the changes were coming were unlikely to be able to begin the process of compiling portfolios until November 12 when Dr. Golich sent her e-mail detailing the review requirements and standards
Findings
![Page 11: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Issues with Peer Reviews• Many departments did not have a
formal peer review process in place for Category II faculty
• Required for Evaluation of all CAT II faculty
• Questions about the ability to get formal peer reviews in the time available
Findings
![Page 12: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
4. Contract Practices
• Confusion about how these deadlines mesh with the existing contract cycle• Faculty may be asked to seek
reappointment for CAT II lines that no longer exist
Findings
![Page 13: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• T he proposed deadline is set two months prior to the completion of the annual contract. Thus, it only covers the first eight months of a 10-month contractual period.
Findings
![Page 14: May 2013: FS Approval of New Chapter VI Language Governing the Evaluation of Category II Faculty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/56814d61550346895dbaa976/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• New Category II faculty will effectively have a single semester of work available for evaluation if this timeline persists.
Findings
