Appointments in this series in the School of Medicine at UCLA are made in cases of academically qualified individuals who hold compensated positions in the School of Medicine or an affiliated hospital and who are engaged in teaching, and in research or other creative activity. The individual may not necessarily work as an independent investigator, but may, for example, be a valued member of a research team. Creative activities may also take other forms, for example, in administation, or in the development of innovative teaching, or clinical programs, and the like. Faculty in the adjunct series are also expected to participate in clinical, or other professional endeavors and in University and public service. Departmental custom and University policy require that intramural and extramural evaluations of the proposed faculty member be obtained from authorities in order to supplement the faculty record and provide the Department and reviewers with an independent assessment.
Information regarding the candidate's teaching effectiveness is most important.
Under University of California policy, the identity of authors of letters of evaluation which are included in the personnel review files will be held in confidence. The full text of the body of your letter will therefore be provided to the candidate if so requested. Thus, if you provide any information that tends to identify you in the body of the letter, that information may become available to the candidate. If you wish, you may provide a brief factual statement regarding your relationship to the candidate at the end of your letter but below the signature block. This brief statement will be subject to redaction and will not be made available to the candidate.
