3.4.2 Review for Additional Appointments - HP Faculty Handbook

In addition to annual evaluations, each Health Programs Faculty shall be formally reviewed and evaluated for additional appointments by the appropriate unit administrator, with the advice of a body of the faculty member's peers (this body shall include HP faculty members). The additional appointment evaluation and review shall be scheduled as follows: 1) for faculty members in their first period of appointment the review shall be scheduled in the year prior to the last year of the appointment; and 2) for faculty members on additional appointments, the evaluation and review must be scheduled before the end of the year prior to the last year of the appointment period. Demand for patient care services is considered important but not essential in decisions about initial appointment and additional appointment.

Reappointment evaluations shall be based upon each HP faculty member's specific duties and responsibilities and any additional job responsibilities assigned and/or acquired since the initial appointment. Each faculty member shall be notified when his/her evaluation is to take place, what procedures are to be followed, and what criteria are to be used in the evaluation. This evaluation will take place between the faculty member and the applicable unit/departmental administrator.

It is also required the applicable departmental chairpersons seek advice on additional appointment decisions from an appropriate Academic Unit Review Committee (e.g. a unit advisory/ executive committee or Promotion and Tenure Committee) in order to obtain a peer faculty opinion about the performance of the individual. Departmental Administrators (Chairs) will recommend additional appointments to the Dean, who will make the recommendation on both additional appointment and the length of that appointment to the Provost who will make the final decision.

If the Health Programs Faculty's duties change as a result of the additional appointment evaluation discussion, that information (new expectations and duties) will be reflected in a letter to the individual with a copy to be maintained in his/her personnel file. The Health Programs Faculty will normally be informed of the decision to additionally appoint shortly after the evaluation and review process has taken place. Formal notification of a decision to appoint for additional time must be made by the applicable Departmental Administrator to the individual, no later than 60 days preceding the expiration date of the individual's appointment.
