Dr. Giraud presented criteria to address the formation of a defensible faculty evaluation process. He prefaced the discussion by proposing that such an evaluation process needs to be in place this year, and that NCA expects a valid peer evaluation process in place within accredited institutions.
Discussions included faculty portfolio development, evaluation methodology.
Dr. Giraud proposed instituting a faculty ranking system by title, which would not be aligned with evaluations. The justification was based on years of service, contributions to the institution, and educational level.
Michell Melvin raised an issue regarding leave policy and its application in cases where faculty members are taking classes to improve their credentials. Specifically, the concern was the timely approval of leave. It was recommended that the policies and procedures should be check to see if the issue is addressed.
