Development of Criteria Clause Samples
The 'Development of Criteria' clause establishes the process by which specific standards or benchmarks are created to evaluate performance, deliverables, or compliance within an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines who is responsible for drafting the criteria, how they will be reviewed or approved, and the timeline for their completion. For example, it may require both parties to collaborate on defining measurable objectives before work begins. Its core practical function is to ensure that all parties have a clear, mutually agreed-upon basis for assessing whether contractual obligations are being met, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes.
Development of Criteria. Each department faculty must, in the Department Policy Statement, develop and make known to its members the department criteria for the application and relative importance of the University standards in the three areas of performance. Each academic unit, through its Department Policy Statement, must interpret and apply these criteria to the three University standards using the prevailing standards of the relevant field/discipline/profession. Each faculty member’s performance will be evaluated according to the University standards and standards developed by the department for the relevant field/discipline/profession. The same standards may not be appropriate for different disciplines. Department needs have traditionally been considered in tenure decisions, and the particular skills, expertise, and accomplishments of the faculty member as they relate to the needs of the department shall continue to be considered.
Development of Criteria. The Sec- retary, in cooperation with State transpor- tation departments, may develop criteria to implement paragraph (1). In developing cri- teria under this paragraph, the Secretary shall consider—
(A) the results of the committee process of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials as used in adopting and publishing ‘‘A Policy on Geo- metric Design of Highways and Streets’’, in- cluding comments submitted by interested parties as part of such process;
(B) the publication entitled ‘‘Flexibility in Highway Design’’ of the Federal Highway Administration;
(C) ‘‘Eight Characteristics of Process to Yield Excellence and the Seven Qualities of Excellence in Transportation Design’’ devel- oped by the conference held during 1998 enti- tled ‘‘Thinking Beyond the Pavement Na- tional Workshop on Integrating Highway De- velopment with Communities and the Envi- ronment while Maintaining Safety and Per- formance’’;
(D) the publication entitled ‘‘Highway Safety Manual’’ of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Offi- cials;
(E) the publication entitled ‘‘Urban Street Design Guide’’ of the National Association of City Transportation Officials; and
(F) any other material that the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

17.§7.1.1 These criteria will be submitted by each academic unit, according to the process for approving Policy Statements, for approval by Western and the Chapter. Departments without an approved tenure policy interpreting criteria for tenure evaluation will have their applicants for tenure evaluated by faculty committees and administrators on the basis of the general meanings attributed to these criteria as specified in the current WMU/AAUP Agreement.
