3.20.9 Performance Evaluation

All Lincoln University faculty are required to be evaluated annually. At the beginning of each academic year, by the established deadline or within two (2) weeks of initial appointment, each faculty member shall complete a “Faculty-Supervisor Preliminary Evaluation Agreement,” to be signed by the faculty member and the area supervisor and sent to the Dean by the date published in the annual “Schedule of Required Administrative Actions.” It shall be the responsibility of each area supervisor to make known and implement the instrument and weighting factors for the evaluation of the faculty assigned to the unit. It shall also be the responsibility of the supervisor to implement the evaluation processes that are in place, i.e., conferences with the faculty member, classroom visits, etc.

During the spring semester, each faculty member will complete a self-evaluation form, based on the evaluation agreement, and submit it to the area supervisor. The supervisor will then complete a “Faculty Evaluation” and share the results with the faculty member. Both will sign the evaluation. All faculty evaluations will be sent to the Dean by the published deadline. A copy of the evaluation must be made available to the faculty member and should be maintained in the faculty member's personnel file.
