For all faculty the annual review process must be completed before annual raise recommendations are made. It is desirable, whenever possible, that faculty receive written annual reviews and have an opportunity to respond to them before salary recommendations are finalized. Once faculty have been informed of their recommended salary for the coming year, it is not possible to alter that recommendation without altering the recommendations to other faculty, since all available funds have been allocated. Because probationary faculty fourth year reviews, and any review that entails a nonrenewal decision, require a second level of review, it is critical that probationary faculty reviews begin early enough in the academic year to assure adequate time to complete two levels of review where required.
