ANNUAL FACULTY REVIEW
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY
Note: Do not staple the pages of your annual review. Clip the pages together in a way that additional pages can be inserted by your department head/school director and/or dean.
Overview
The review of each faculty member's performance is conducted annually by the appropriate College of Business administrator(s). Copies of the reviews will be filed in the office of the department head/school director and academic dean, with the final overall ratings reported to the office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. The confidentiality of these papers is maintained by all parties involved.
The Annual Faculty Review for the College has two major objectives: (1) to provide feedback for individual faculty for faculty development purposes, and (2) to serve as the basis for merit pay increases.
Procedures for this review are as follows:
1. Sections I and II are prepared in a concise manner by the individual faculty member and submitted to his or her department head/school director. Supporting documentation should be organized to conform with this annual review and should be available upon request for review. The annual review form is due to the department head/school director by January 16 of the year following the year under review.
2. The Associate Dean(s) will give (in writing) any relevant information they have on faculty performance to faculty members, department head.
3. The department head/school director reviews Sections I and II and any input from the Associate Dean(s) , and prepares a draft of Section III.
4. The BLT (College of Business Leadership Team) meets to help ensure consistent evaluations within and among the academic units.
5. The department head/school director considers input from the BLT, finalizes his or her decision regarding evaluation, and sends the evaluation to the Dean for comments. Each faculty member's final ratings are the responsibility of his/her department head/school director.
6. The Dean reviews evaluation packets and notes any points of disagreement in writing. These comments become part of the evaluation packet and are therefore available to the faculty member and department head/director.
7. The department head/director conducts a performance evaluation conference with each faculty member. This review must be completed prior to April 1. Either party may seek clarification of input from the Dean or Associate Dean(s).
8. a. Any changes agreed upon during the performance evaluation conference should be noted and initialed by both parties. In addition, the Dean must be notified of such changes in order to have the opportunity to modify his/her commentary.
b. Any faculty member who wishes to have the results of his/her Annual Faculty Review re-evaluated should present the department head/school director with a written request within five working days of the conclusion of his/her performance evaluation conference. This written request must state the rationale for the request and present appropriate evidence. It must also clearly state whether the faculty member desires a written appeal review or an oral hearing. This request should then be forwarded to the Dean, who will schedule the review/hearing within five working days. The review/hearing will occur within fifteen working days of the faculty member's request.
9. The department head/director will provide the Dean's Office with a copy of each faculty member's final annual review.
