The Chancellor shall establish procedures which entail adequate stages of review of proposed appointments, reappointments, merit increases, and promotions to ensure proper evaluation of the individual candidates. Such procedures shall include appointment by the Chancellor of personnel committees which include peers and which will review, when appropriate, appointments, reappointments, merit increases, and promotions and which will also recommend, when appropriate, the composition of ad hoc review committees. Ad hoc review committees, appointed by the Chancellor, will normally include appointees from the Agricultural Experiment Station. 334-83 Procedure for the Formal Appraisal of Assistant Specialist in Cooperative Extension Formal appraisals of Assistant Specialists in Cooperative Extension shall be made in order to arrive at preliminary assessments of the prospects of candidates for eventual promotion to Associate rank as well as to identify appointees whose records of performance and achievement are below the level of excellence desired for continued employment in the Specialist in Cooperative Extension series. A case of initial appointment from outside the University, with anticipation of promotion within two or three years after appointment, obviously calls for an exception to the general rule.
Earlier appraisals are permissible.
Subject to these procedures and restrictions, each Chancellor shall establish general schedules and rules for the timing of formal appraisals on the respective campus. No formal appraisal is required if, prior to the normal occurrence of an appraisal, the Assistant Specialist in Cooperative Extension is being recommended for promotion to take effect within a year, has given written notice of resignation, or has been given written notice of non-reappointment. The Chancellor shall promulgate appropriate procedures to conduct this appraisal. The Chancellor shall make the final determination concerning the outcome of an appraisal, taking into account all the available evidence and the recommendations made in the course of the appraisal. The Chancellor shall inform the chair, through the Dean or Provost, of any decision and of any information or advice resulting from the appraisal that the Chancellor thinks might be helpful to the chair or the appointee.
