3.3: Faculty and staff recruitment, workload, incentive, and
evaluation practices are aligned with institutional purposes and educational
objectives. Evaluation processes are systematic, include appropriate peer
review, and, for instructional faculty and other teaching staff, involve
consideration of evidence of teaching effectiveness, including student
evaluations of instruction.

UC Santa Cruz Summary of Evidence |
The University of California academic personnel policies
for faculty evaluation are well documented and long-standing. The
evaluation process begins with the departments and progresses upward
through Senate and administrative levels. For advancement, each faculty
member’s file must include evidence of excellence in teaching, research,
and service. For merit actions, student evaluations are primary evidence
of teaching effectiveness. For promotions, there is additional peer review
of teaching.
Although committed to the value of the faculty reviews in
assessing eligibility for merits and promotions, periodically the campus
reassesses the oft times cumbersome and unwieldy process. The campus is
currently engaged in an
Academic Personnel Review Process Redesign - seeking to modify, simplify
and automate elements of the academic personnel review process, while
ensuring that any changes do not reduce the quality of the reviews.
