Promotion to Associate Rank with continuing status in American Indian Studies will normally require a sustained record of administrative support.  It is recognized that administrative duties may vary over time and judgments made about the candidate’s success in the administrative support area should make into account the percent of time assigned, changes in administrative responsibility over time, major projects/tasks completed and overall quality of administrative work accomplished.  The most important vehicle for judging the level of accomplishment in the administrative support area is the Annual Performance Evaluation, which includes Peer Review.

Promotion to Full Rank in American Indian Studies will normally require a sustained record of administrative accomplishments and demonstrated leadership. Evidence for promotion will rely on the Annual Performance Evaluation process, which will include Peer Review.  At this level American Indian Studies expects the candidate will have achieved a national reputation in administrative work, which crosses Tribal/national boundaries; and that he or she will have contributed to all the categories of other evidence listed under promotion to Associate Rank.

 
Article V.        Annual Performance Evaluation:

All faculty are required to participate in the Annual Review process.  Faculty with full or shared appointments in AIS, will participate in the full review as outlined in Article V (A through L) and as required by the University Promotion & Tenure guidelines. Affiliate faculty and faculty with shared appointments with a different tenure home than AIS will submit a report of their activities that were conducted on behalf of AIS including:

    • Teaching/advising/mentoring
    • Service/outreach
    • Scholarship
    • Administration (if applicable)

A.  A clear and concise statement not to exceed 5 pages of both past accomplishments and future plans for each assigned area of responsibility.  Include the percentage of effort for both the past and the future for each area.  Workload assignments are flexible and can be changed annually by the Chair and the faculty member. Past accomplishments include three calendar years and future plans include one calendar year.  Include dates (month & year) for each accomplishment.

 

B.     Should a sabbatical have been taken during the review period, attach the sabbatical report.

C.  The AIS guidelines for promotion /tenure and continuing status will be the basis of the Annual Performance Evaluations (see article IV A & B).  In addition, the following guidelines are provided for your use:

1.   Teaching/advising/mentoring:

The instructional function of the University requires faculty members who can effectively communicate the content of the current body of knowledge and the latest research results in the classroom, in other learning environments, with individual student contact, and through professional modes of publication in diverse media.  Teaching is to be interpreted in the broadest possible sense consistent with the educational mission of the University.

Activities considered to be positive contributions to this mission may include, but are not limited to:

·        Teaching regular course offerings

·        Holding scheduled office hours as required by the University Handbook for Appointed 
      Personnel section 7.01.01

·        Developing or contributing course/curriculum materials within or outside the department

·        Developing replicable systems of instruction (e.g. designing computer assisted learning or TA-instructed modules)

·        Coordinating or team-teaching a large or multidisciplinary course

·        Supervising independent study courses, seminars, colloquia, or projects

·        Supervising graduate and undergraduate research (including, but not limited to, senior
      projects, theses, and dissertations)

·        Implementing innovative technology or methodology for instruction

·        Developing and applying educational innovations in the classroom

·        Providing meaningful and timely feedback to students on their work

·        Advising undergraduate students on programs of study

·        Advising student groups, serving on master’s or doctoral committees

·        Advising/mentoring graduate students

·        Reviewing textbooks written by others

·        Publishing papers on teaching

·        Attending or presenting seminars on teaching

·        Seeking external evaluation for improvement of teaching

Measures used to assess the quantity and quality of these activities may include, but are not limited to:

·        Peer and administrative review of material presented in the annual report and/or an associated teaching portfolio (i.e., syllabi, examinations, and other teaching materials)

·        Self evaluation or personal statement, with respect to individual objectives and overall goals

·        Student evaluations of teaching

·        Student evaluations of advising, mentoring, or individual project and research supervision

·        Opinions of technical support personnel and teaching assistants

·        Adoption of curricular or teaching materials at other institutions

·        Invitations to deliver short courses, tutorials, or workshops

·        Special honors or recognition for teaching excellence or innovation

2.   Scholarship:

The research function of the University requires faculty members to be actively engaged in the expansion of intellectual and scholarly frontiers, in the creation and/or application of new knowledge, and in the integration of knowledge from various disciplines.  This scholarly activity is to be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, consistent with the research mission of the University.

Activities considered to be positive contributions to this mission may include, but are not limited to:

·        Engaging in ongoing programs of basic or applied research

·        Investigating educationally relevant problems

·        Obtaining grants and contracts or other outside support for projects, especially through peer-reviewed proposals

·        Publishing peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, abstracts, and reviews

·        Publishing books, book chapters, monographs, invited papers, and technical papers

·        Developing and/or applying new research techniques

·        Producing other non-referred publications, including electronic material

Measures used to assess the quantity and quality of these activities may include, but are not limited to:

·        Self evaluation or personal statement, with respect to individual objectives and overall goals

·        Peer and administrative review of material presented in the annual report

·        Numbers of publications and presentations

·        Opinions of internal collaborators and technical support personnel

·        Evidence of a research project’s impact on applied scholarship or on teaching

·        Awards and honors

·        External funding

3.   Service/Outreach

Service is often partitioned into areas of faculty service (participation in university activities other than teaching or research), professional service (voluntary activities with professional organizations in the faculty member’s discipline), and public or community service (outreach).  Each faculty member is expected to carry a balance of service/outreach activities annually.  Service becomes an increasingly important activity as the faculty member advances through the professorial ranks.  Outreach is a form of scholarship which is particularly important to a land-grant institution; it involves delivering, applying, and preserving knowledge for the direct benefit of external audiences and particularly, for AIS, for the benefit of Indian Nations and communities in ways that are consistent with University, college, and departmental missions.

Activities considered to be positive contributions to the service function may include, but are not limited to:

·        Serve on department, college, and/or university committees

·        Serve in the Faculty Senate or in other faculty governance roles

·        Serve as a sponsor for student activities and/or groups

·        Mentor other faculty

·        Recruit students and faculty members

·        Serve on review panels to evaluate research proposals for potential funding

·        Review research articles and/or manuscripts for publication, or research abstracts for presentation at academic meetings

·        Serve as editor or editorial board member for academic journals or books

·        Participate in activities of professional societies or organizations in one’s discipline, particularly in leadership roles

·        Consult to other universities, colleges, or primary or secondary schools

·        Organize and/or participate in conferences and symposia

·        Organize activities that enhance public awareness of the discipline

·        Develop external relations with tribal entities

·        Serve on committees or boards for tribal/federal/state government agencies

·        Participate in local, state, or national civic activities and organizations

·        Guest lectures or other class-room related activities

Measures used to assess the quantity and quality of these activities may include, but are not limited to:

·        Self evaluation or personal statement, with respect to individual objectives and overall goals

·        Peer and administrative review of material presented in the annual report

·        Recognition of faculty and staff or students

·        Recognition by university leaders, committee members or chairs

·        Recognition by professional colleagues and professional societies

·        Client or constituent evaluations

·        Awards and honors

·        Letters or certificates recognizing public service

 

Article VI.       Annual Performance Review Process


A.  Annual Performance Review Committee:  This peer review Committee shall consist of three faculty members who will be appointed by the Chair with the advice of the faculty.  The committee is convened on an ad hoc basis each year.   Students will not serve on this committee.  This committee evaluates the teaching, research, service/outreach, and administrative duties (where applicable) of faculty members and the chair.  UHAP, chapter 3.10.01 Annual Performance Review guidelines will be used for the purpose of this review.  Reports should consist of three (3) calendar years of data, in a format consistent with the “Promotion & Tenure/Continuing Status Preparation of Dossiers” (most recent version in any given year).


B.   Period of Review :  APRC evaluations shall be conducted as required by the University administration, and in accordance with University guidelines published in the University Handbook for Appointed Personnel (see Section 3.10).  In general, the period of review will be:

1.   January 31, report due to Chair,

2.   Peer review evaluation will be concluded no later than March 15,

3.   Prior to a required meeting, the Chair will provide a preliminary written evaluation,

4.   Meetings by the Chair with each faculty member shall be held prior to April 15,

5.   Faculty member provides comments as desired, signs the document and returns it to the Chair within 15 days of the meeting with the Chair.

C.  Review Process:  The faculty members under review shall provide to the Committee reports (as set forth in articles V above) detailing their teaching, research, duties (where applicable), and other professional and public service activities, as well as any other matters they believe to be relevant to annual performance review.  Any faculty member who wishes to discuss his or her review with any members of the Committee, or the Committee as a whole, may do so.  In order to clarify information, any Committee member, or the Committee itself, may meet with any faculty member to discuss his or her activities during the review period.  The Committee will review the reports submitted and forward them to the Chair, with comment.

Upon completion of the review of a faculty member’s record for a three (3) year period, the Committee will complete a rating form (attached) to determine whether the faculty member is truly exceptional, exceeds expectations, meets expectations, needs improvement, or is unsatisfactory in each of the categories of teaching, research, and service.  The Committee shall submit its written recommendation to the Chair for his or her consideration.  The Chair will prepare a written performance evaluation of each person using the attached format.  If a faculty member is found to be performing at an unsatisfactory level in any area of responsibility, UHAP, section 3.10.04 Outcomes of Annual Performance Review will be followed. The Chair will provide the faculty member with copies of the Committee’s and Chair’s reports, appeals will follow the guidelines in UHAP, section 3.10.06.

D.

 

Performance Ratings

Faculty shall be rated in each of the assigned areas of responsibility according to a five level-scale.  An overall rating shall also be given according to the same scale by the Chair.  The term “satisfactory or better” refers to any of the top four ratings.
