Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3344 - Cleveland State University › Chapter 3344-16 - Faculty Member Rank Achievement › Section 3344-16-03 - Faculty professional development

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
In addition to the professional responsibilities as described
				in rule 3344-16-02 of the Administrative Code, faculty are expected to continue
				their professional development. In order to assist in the process of faculty
				professional development within the context of the university's purpose and
				direction in the areas of teaching, research and service, the following
				procedures shall be employed:
(A)
			 Faculty annual activities report.
(1) The
			 faculty annual activities report ("FAAR") shall be due on or before April
			 thirtieth of each year. The FAAR shall report on faculty activities and
			 achievements for the preceding period May first to April thirtieth. Not later
			 than September thirtieth of each year faculty shall meet with their department
			 chairs to discuss their professional plans for the current academic year. The
			 chair and faculty member shall discuss the areas of teaching,
			 scholarship/creative activities, and professional service, indicating what the
			 faculty member hopes to accomplish in each of these areas. The chair shall
			 comment on those plans in terms of the career interests of the faculty member,
			 the academic purpose and direction of the department, and the professional
			 service interests of the university and community. The purpose of faculty/chair
			 discussions is to develop a plan for faculty professional development that
			 takes into consideration both individual professional development and the
			 purpose and direction of the department, the college and the university. The
			 chair may also suggest alternate or additional opportunities for professional
			 growth, and suggest possible sources of support to assist faculty.
(2) The faculty member, based on the
			 discussions with the chair, shall prepare a written statement describing their
			 planned goals and objectives for the year. The faculty development plan
			 statement shall be due on or before October fifteenth of each year. This
			 statement shall be reviewed by the department chair and added to the faculty
			 annual activities report (FAAR). The statement of goals and objectives may be
			 revised or amended to reflect new directions in a faculty member's professional
			 development. The revised or amended statement shall be reviewed by the
			 department chair and added to the FAAR.
(3) Faculty members shall indicate on the
			 FAAR the degree of progress toward achieving the goals and objectives
			 articulated in the previous academic year's FAAR. For purposes of evaluating
			 faculty, however, achievement shall be measured on the basis of tangible,
			 objective evidence of progress towards stated goals, achievements that had not
			 been anticipated at the time of the faculty member's statement of planned goals
			 and objectives, and on the overall record of accomplishment for the
			 year.
(4) The college FAAR forms
			 may be amended by agreement between the administration and the university
			 faculty affairs committee.
