Governance
In evaluating governance, the FRC will look at the faculty member’s contribution to the administrative work of the University. This area is an optional area of evaluation and will be considered only if a faculty member stipulates that it is relevant.
A faculty member’s contribution will be evaluated by the degree to which the faculty member:
• Participates in the work of committees or other administrative groups by sharing ideas, completing all jobs assigned, and representing the groups effectively to the broader community.
• Participates in the work of the department and school.
• Contributes to policy formation in a substantive way.
• effectively as an officer (chair, vice chair, secretary) of a standing or ad hoc committee, and/or as department chair or school dean.
• Serves willingly when asked to serve on ad hoc committees.
A faculty member will earn ratings based on the following standards:
