Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) In order to recognize, maintain, and
			 improve the total effectiveness of the faculty of the College, the performance
			 of all faculty members employed by the College will be evaluated in writing in
			 accordance with the provisions of this policy. The policy is intended to
			 provide for the assessment of individual performance and to encourage
			 improvement in achieving the educational goals of the College. The evaluation
			 system provides for improvement of the quality of instruction, for
			 encouragement of professional growth and development, and for informed
			 personnel decisions.
(B) The
			 written evaluations prescribed herein will be considered prior to personnel
			 decisions including, but not limited to, reassignment, contract renewal for
			 non-tenured faculty, termination, and the granting of academic rank and
			 tenure.
(C) The evaluation
			 procedures of the College will provide for multiple sources of information on
			 faculty performance. The sources include evaluation by self, peers, students,
			 supervisors, and other appropriate sources. The combination of information
			 sources as defined by CCC-AAUP contract and performance categories for each
			 faculty member's evaluation will be agreed upon between the faculty member and
			 his/her immediate supervisor, but at a minimum will include evaluation by the
			 immediate supervisor and the faculty member's students. Other sources agreed
			 upon by the faculty and immediate supervisor may also be included. In
			 accordance with the procedure, any forms used to collect such information will
			 be standardized across the College.
(D) Written evaluations will be required as
			 follows:
(1) A written evaluation of the
			 performance of each full-time tenured faculty member will be conducted by the
			 immediate supervisor, or the appropriate dean/director, once every three
			 academic years.
(2) A written
			 evaluation of the performance of each full-time tenure track faculty member
			 will be conducted by the immediate supervisor, or the appropriate
			 dean/director, and shall occur twice annually during the first two academic
			 years of the probationary period and once annually during the remaining
			 academic years of the probationary period.
(3) A written evaluation for each full-time
			 lecturer will be conducted by the immediate supervisor at least twice per year,
			 at least once in the first semester and at least once during the second
			 semester, after the first, agreed to by the lecturer and the
			 supervisor.
(4) A written evaluation
			 of each part-time lecturer, based on classroom observance and student
			 evaluations, will be conducted by the immediate supervisor, or the supervisor's
			 designee, during the initial semester of service and, thereafter, at least once
			 every two academic semesters during which the part-time lecturer performs
			 services for the College. (This provision does not apply to fulltime tenure or
			 tenure-track faculty or full-time lecturers who perform additional assignments
			 as part-time lecturers.)
