The only documentation required to support the nomination of a faculty member will be the department annual activity report information. Colleges have the flexibility to design their own process if consistent with the guidelines outlined in this document. The chair or dean shall consult with the college or department executive committee or policy committee, or with the faculty, about the process for matching nominees to the number of awards. Departments are notified by the dean of the maximum number of awards possible.
Colleges have the flexibility to determine the mix of awards given.
STEP 1 Identify campus-wide awards that should be supplemented. Sum the performance shares supplements needed. D epartments should be allowed to use whatever information they desire to determine productivity. They should, however, use only information that their faculty members already provide for the annual review of performance in the department. Chair or committee accepts nominations from any faculty member in the department.
