Tenured faculty (unless otherwise evaluated for promotion) will be evaluated by the same instruments and procedures every fifth year of consecutive service. Tenured faculty will be evaluated using:
- a self-evaluation (addressing teaching, advising, professional development, and service to the college)
- two peer evaluation letters,
- chairperson’s or other designated supervisor’s evaluation letter, and
- an interview with the FPC.
The goals and objectives to be addressed in the self-evaluation materials are stated in Simpson College Faculty Handbook Part II: Personnel Policies Section 7 . Student evaluations along with any other supporting documentation may be included in the self- evaluation sent to the chairperson or other designated supervisor, the FPC, and the academic dean. Other appropriate supporting documentation might include a post- sabbatical report and the resulting letter from FPC, copies of grant proposals, letters from outside collaborators, etc. Supervisors will meet with the faculty to discuss the criteria addressed. Chairpersons’ evaluations are presented to the FPC, the dean and the evaluated faculty. Peer evaluations are required by at least two persons nominated by the faculty member being evaluated. The peer evaluations are to assist the faculty member in continuing to pursue professional development and improve performance.
If the evaluated faculty is a chairperson, a tenured member of the faculty (from within the same department as the faculty member under review, if possible) should be invited to serve as peer evaluator, in addition to the two faculty members from outside the department.
The FPC review process will usually include an interview with the faculty member during or after the evaluation process. Upon completion of the process, the FPC recommendations shall be forwarded to the academic dean and a summary of the FPC concerns and recommendations shall be forwarded to the faculty member. The academic dean may, at his or her discretion, respond to the FPC and the faculty member regarding the review.
