On the other hand, the performance of fewer than 10 individuals was rated as below expectations in the College. My assessment resulted in a few changes as I compared across departments. The result is that there is a very small pool to reward those whose performance was rated as superior. I wish the pool was much larger but neither the department chairs nor I figured out how to create a larger amount this year. There is one additional observation I want to add.
Students rate the quality of teaching very high.
There is much innovation in the classroom. The level of scholarly work has risen to a new level. The amount of service work is outstanding. The salary decision making process is almost complete. By Wednesday, department chairs will be informed on final decisions.
