Nothing contained herein shall prevent the chief administrative officer from taking such action as the chief administrative officer may deem appropriate to the operating requirements of the college.
§ 336.3 Applicability.
Pursuant to this Title academic employees may be evaluated; such evaluation, if any, is to be made by the chief administrative officer, or designee.

(e) Continuing growth-as demonstrated by such things as reading, research or other activities to keep abreast of current developments in the academic employee's fields and being able to handle successfully increased responsibility.
§ 336.5 Procedure.
The chief administrative officer of a college, after giving consideration to recommendations of academic employees, including the committees, if any, of the appropriate department or professional area and other appropriate sources in connection with promotion of a specific academic employee, may promote, or recommend to the chancellor for promotion, such persons as are, in the chief administrative officer's judgment, best qualified. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the chief administrative officer of a college from taking such promotion action as the chief administrative officer may deem appropriate to the operating requirements of the college.

Recommendations of academic employees, or their appropriate committees, or other appropriate sources may consider, but shall not be limited to consideration of, the following:

§ 336.8 Policy.
§ 336.9 Definitions.
(a) Promotion shall mean an increase in a professional employee's basic annual salary with a change in title and movement to a higher salary rank, resulting from a permanent significant increase or change in his or her duties and responsibilities as a consequence of movement from one position to another of greater scope and complexity of function at the same or different college.

(b) Prior to making promotions, or recommendations to the chancellor for promotion, of professional employees, the chief administrative officer shall review the supervisory evaluation and recommendations relating to such employees, together with the recommendations, if any, of the appropriate professional staff committees established for such purpose.
§ 336.11 Evaluation.
(a) Each professional employee in the Professional Services Negotiating Unit shall have his or her performance evaluated by the employee's immediate supervisor formally, in writing, once each year during the term of appointment and as changing conditions warrant, except where the employee is serving a final year in the university following notice of nonrenewal. Such evaluation shall be based on a performance program determined by the immediate supervisor after consultation with the employee, a copy of which shall be given to the employee.
