FACULTY EVALUATIONS. Annual faculty evaluations by the MANE Department Head are part of the annual salary adjustment process. The process entails each faculty member submitting a report quantifying research and teaching activities as well as identifying key contributions made in the area of citizenship. These are defined as activities that contribute to the life, growth, and vision of the Program/Department. Faculty are required to simultaneously submit a five-year plan. This is reviewed by the Department Head and discussed with the faculty member. The primary foci of the discussions are to be on how well the faculty member met goals set in the previous year and developing understandings of the goals of the faculty member for the next year. For the tenure- track assistant professor, this meeting is a mechanism through which the mentoring process is formalized and transmitted to all levels of the administration. These meetings and discussions track the junior faculty member’s progress in the run-up to tenure and promotion.
