Academic Professional Guidelines

The annual evaluation of Academic Professionals is covered in Article 17, Section 7 of the AAUP contract:

Section 7. Academic Professional Evaluations

(a) All Academic Professionals shall have annual performance reviews (evaluations). The performance review year will be the preceding 12 months. A calendar for the performance evaluation cycle shall be established and published at the same time as the promotion and the promotion and tenure review cycle.

and later,

(e) Procedures: The cognizant vice president, vice provost, or dean of each division, school, or college is responsible for an annual evaluation of all Academic Professionals employed within his/her unit. The evaluation shall be conducted according to the guidelines established by the University. The guidelines shall be available on the Office of Human Resources website [bold added]. The University will seek input from Academic Professionals and AAUP if substantial changes are contemplated.

As you will see, Human Resources offers two different forms for evaluation; you may choose to use either, but once you choose one, please stick with that form in the future.
