Timeline for the T&R evaluation of First Year Faculty and Librarians (11/1/22)
A message from Cristina Iftode, Co-chair of the Senate TR&P Committee, 09.29.23
The timeline for the T&R evaluation of first year faculty and librarians has been inadvertently deleted from the 2022-2023 Tenure and Recontracting MOA. We apologize for this error and we thank those who, by requesting clarifications, made us realize this information was missing. The timeline is the same as that for lecturers (see p. 9 of MOA). If any of the above deadlines falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline will be at 5 PM on the following business day.
Candidates should provide their file to the Department TRP Committee approximately two weeks prior to the date the file is due to the Dean. This date can be extended if the file is transmitted to the next level on time. Candidates should contact their department committees to set a specific deadline.
The Dean holds recontracting authority for first year of service faculty and librarians, and the Provost or designee will only evaluate candidates in cases of faculty appeals when the Dean has denied recontracting. Provost’s decisions are final and not subject to any further administrative review. The evaluation process of first year faculty (tenure-track and lecturers) and librarians is described on p. 4 of the current MOA.
MOA Impact of Covid Statement (9/24/20)
The purpose of the Impact of COVID-19 statement is for inclusion within documentation relating to any deficiencies in anticipated benchmarks and achievements of AFT employees during this unprecedented time. AU levels of evaluations of the performance and production of AFT employees for the purposes of probationary recontracting, tenure, multi-year recontracting, promotion, sabbatical, and any other related evaluations should not be affected negatively because of the effects of the pandemic.
