Two narrative boxes will also be added to the form; one for faculty and one for the supervisor. The supervisors narrative must be based on substantiated information or data within the evaluation form. The supervisor shall annually provide a written evaluation of faculty. Tenured faculty will receive either satisfactory or above or unsatisfactory rating. Non-tenured faculty will be rated unsatisfactory, satisfactory, commendable, or excellent. Both the faculty member and the supervisor will sign the completed response form. The forms will be sent to faculty electronically. Once signed by both parties the original form will be placed in the employees personnel file located in Human Resources. A supervisor can give final ratings different from the numerically determined rating only on the basis of substantiated information in two possible situations. Focused areas of poor or exemplary performance within the evaluation rating. The final rating shall not be adjusted during the year in which poor performance is noted, but it shall be addressed in the written narrative. Appropriate direction for improvement in the next year shall be given. If expected improvement is not realized in the following year, the final evaluation in the following year may be revised downward by the supervisor. If exemplary performance is noted in any year, the final rating may be adjusted upward by the supervisor in the year in which the evaluation occurs. Disciplinary actions against the individual. A supervisor may adjust the final rating downward as deemed appropriate for the level of disciplinary action taken. This shall be done in the year the evaluation is made. Adjustments to the final rating and the amount of adjustment shall be only with the approval of the president of the college or designee. An item identified for disciplinary action will be placed in the employees personnel file located in Human Resources. A soft-touch item will not be placed in an employees personnel file. Chairs approved the processes put forth by the evaluation committee and the VPAA. Three abstentions were noted. Chairs agreed to discuss the process with their departments prior to the next Faculty Senate meeting. If approved by faculty senate the item will then be presented to Presidents Council for final approval. Department Chairs Role in the Evaluation Process Some chairs have expressed interest in participating in the faculty evaluation process. In the past, chairs have presented issues to the VPAA; however, they didnt want involved in the situation. There has to be a uniformed method system throughout the college. An example checklist was distributed and discussed. The checklist is not opinion based; its based on substantiated evidence. The checklist would be presented to faculty at the beginning of the academic year. It would be used as an accountability tool and faculty would know what is expected of them from the very beginning. The item must be transparent. Faculty must be given time to improve before considering the item as formal documentation. There is concern that chairs continue to receive more administrative duties; however, release time to fulfill these duties remains the same. Currently, chairs receive a three credit release for department chair duties. That is equivalent to one full day per week. Chairs voted in favor of moving forward with the idea of using the checklist as a communication tool between faculty and department chairs. One no vote was recorded along with one abstention. A sub-committee was formed to research the possibility of incorporating the checklist into the process. Committee members are David Freistroffer, Danny Gonzales, Linda Uhlenkott, and Mary Doucette. Chairs were encouraged to discuss the topic with their departments. Comments and feedback should be forwarded to members of the sub-committee. Online Schedule for Community Colleges Members were encouraged to review the collaborative online schedule between GBC, WNC, and TMCC. It is a good list and if managed properly it will be very beneficial to students. There are concerns with the list. The VPAA, along with administrators from the other institutions are addressing the issues. All concerns should be directed to the VPAA. The reason for the collaboration is to show that the institutions are not duplicating courses and that they are working together to save money for the system. This is an opportunity for institutions to take their specialized courses and offer them to a broader audience. Budget constraints may hinder the adding of online courses. Less online sections would be offered at each institution as a cost savings measure. However, students would be able to enroll at a collaborating institution, if space is available. Students taking online courses at multiple institutions will be required to pay the application fee at each institution. Advisors at each institution will be responsible for communicating the opportunities to students. Adjunct Faculty Evaluations The revised process was distributed to department chairs and support staff. Institutional Research is updating the list and will forward to support staff and department chairs upon completion. Adjuncts are required to be evaluated every five years. It is up to departments to decide when an evaluation should be administered. New adjuncts must be evaluated during the first semester they instruct for GBC. Adjuncts teaching INT 100 (GBC Orientation) do not have do be evaluated since it is a student services program.
