任期峰会纪要2007年夏季

The reform of the tenure 过程 is the product of Valencia's shared governance 过程.  All matters concerning tenure are endorsed by the 教师 Association 并获大学学习委员会批准.  终身制的发展 relied on highly collaborative 'Tenure Summits' involving all the stakeholders.

I. POLICY AND PROCEDURE NUMBER: 6HX28:08-10 AWARD OF TENURE AND EVALUATION OF 终身教职和终身教职

4.b. 专业表现：学生教学评估

II. PROCESSES FOR EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENTING THE TENURE PROCESS REPORTING SYSTEM

A. Tenure Review Committee (TRC) Role: A n advisory committee composed of two elected, tenured faculty members working with the dean on tenure recommendations, 对记录提供评论.

B. Guiding principles: Collaboration, inclusiveness, and transparency.

•已决定的TRC问题：

1. Performance-related documents 'to the record' that are considered by one person 必须由储税局所有成员考虑. 也就是院长和教职员委员会 members should consider all information relevant to tenure 过程. 信息 用来做终身教职决定的必须是书面的.

2. People who participate on TRCs must follow the procedures as described in the 任期委员会委员手册.

3. Tenure Review Committee members will sign an Ethics Statement and complete 在担任委员会成员之前，必须接受储税券培训. 培训应明确强调 the TRC members realize the sensitivity and confidentiality of information.

4. 院长 should inform the candidates when their final portfolio is approved.

 5. Candidates should be informed as soon as possible in cases where tenure is not recommended, either because of an unacceptable portfolio, Tenure Review Committee 决定，或教务长/副校长决定.

• 学院对教友承担法律责任. TRC成员，他们公然 无视储税局保密，可能会损失赔偿.

3. 其他问题

  A. Appropriate orientation and training for deans, other supervisors and members of Tenure Review Committees to enhance understanding of the legal environment as well as participation and procedure related to tenure review and recommendation. In this context, specific workshops may be scheduled as part of next year's Legal Issues Conference or provided through the Office of the 总法律顾问.

IV.  进一步澄清说明：

独立诉求: should an ILP Review Panel disapprove of a candidate's work on his or her ILP, 学院协会设立了申诉程序.   相关段落 内容如下：

Completion of an 'acceptable' portfolio is a necessary prerequisite for tenure.  Therefore, an unacceptable portfolio disqualifies the candidate from further consideration 在任期.  A candidate whose final portfolio is considered 'unacceptable' by his or her ILP Review Panel may appeal to the Tenure Review Committee, which would refer 将该事项提交另一个独立法律程序覆核小组考虑.  候选人的作品集 会由第二个独立法例检讨小组覆核.  第二小组将包括 of one dean and three tenured faculty members selected by the Tenure Review Committee 从训练有素的ILP评审人员中挑选.  没有候选人的成员 original ILP Review Panel would be eligible to serve on the second panel.  如果 second panel found the candidate's portfolio to be 'acceptable,' that prerequisite 终身教职将被认为是满足的.  候选人的官方记录将包括 both the original ILP Review Panel's report and the second panel's report.

 Tenure Review Committees therefore have an important role in this appeals 过程, and must reassign the review of an ILP under appeal to a new set of ILP reviewers.

Note on composition of Tenure Review Committees, from Tenure Summit Final Notes:

In cases where the described configuration for the Tenure Review Committee is not 可以作出可行的、等效的安排.  例如，有些部门就是这样做的 not have two tenured faculty members, or some departments have so many tenure candidates that it would not be feasible for two tenured faculty members to provide written 对他们所有人的评论.  建议首席学习官，教务长， 教师 Association Board, or College Learning Council serve to approve equivalent 任期检讨委员会的安排.

的定义注释 整体:  Evaluation of professional work in which the judgment is based on the overall quality of the artifact or performance rather than the individual elements of performance.
