The annual evaluation must consider the performance of the faculty member both within and outside the academic unit in teaching, scholarly achievement and professional qualifications, and professional service. Additionally, any aspects of a faculty member’s conduct that impact performance, positive or negative, should be addressed. When the faculty member has assignments outside the academic unit, the AUH will solicit input from appropriate individuals outside the academic unit. The AUH may solicit information from the AUPAC according to academic unit procedures.

If a faculty member’s primary assignment is outside of an academic unit (e.g., in a center, institute, or administrative office), the person who performs the annual evaluation must be the supervisor of the primary assignment, with input from any AUH where the faculty member teaches or has other responsibilities.

A faculty member must be evaluated as excellent, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory in each performance area. In addition to evaluating each of the three performance areas, faculty members' overall performance must be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable. The relative weight associated with each performance area must be a factor in determining overall annual performance.
