PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS FOR FACULTY
PREAMBLE: This section outlines performance
expectations of faculty with respect to tenure and promotion. This section was
new to the Handbook in July, 1982, and remained unchanged until July 1998 and
again in July 2003 when it was revised to give greater prominence to annual
position descriptions as the embodiment, so to speak, of performance
expectations for faculty and to bring it in line with other Handbook revisions.
For further information, contact the Provost's Office (208-885-6448).
[rev.
7-98, 7-03]
A. POLICY. Expectations designated for individual faculty members to
achieve tenure or promotion in rank or satisfactory performance evaluation must
be compatible with the criteria of the department or other unit concerned. Each
faculty member is advised of these expectations in
writing [see
3320] by the departmental or unit administrator at the time of
appointment. [rev. 7-02, 03]
B. PROCEDURES.
B-1. Each department or unit shall determine the faculty roles and how
much value or weight is to be assigned to each of these roles. These
determinations shall be documented in the department’s or unit’s by-laws. Each
document shall be reviewed and approved by the college faculty or a committee of
the college faculty. [add. 7-03].
B-2. Except by written agreement between the faculty member and the
appropriate administrator, expectations for individual
faculty members are in effect for a period of one year. [ed. 7-02, 03,
renumbered 03]
B-3. Any
change in duties or responsibilities that represents a significant departure
from the position description is permitted only with the written consent of the
faculty member and administrator involved. A revised position description should
be filed in this event. [rev. 7-98, 7-03]
B-4. Expectations must not be greater than those that can be reasonably
supported in the department or unit by providing sufficient time and resources.
[renumbered 7-03]
B-5. Expectations are specified in the current faculty position
description and are the basis for the annual performance evaluation. [rev.
7-98, 7-03, renumbered 7-03]
