The main points of the process are summarized here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consideration of faculty for reappointment is automatic; the unit member does not have to request consideration. It is the department\u2019s responsibility to identify those faculty who need to be considered for reappointment in\u00a0<strong>2025-2026<\/strong>\u00a0and schedule the review to fall in the appropriate reappointment cycle. Non fixed length unit faculty whose current appointment ends on or before\u00a0<strong>August 31, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0must be considered for reappointment during the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department chairperson is responsible for convening the peer evaluation committee. The chairperson may be an observer of the deliberations of the committee evaluation. The chairperson will provide the peer committee access to the personnel file, including student evaluation results. The peer committee or the chairperson of the peer committee must meet with the faculty member who is being evaluated for a frank discussion of the faculty member\u2019s performance, if such a meeting is requested by the faculty member. This meeting should occur before the peer committee puts its evaluation in writing. Once the evaluation is in writing, the faculty member has one week in which to comment, also in writing, if they so desire. The response must be attached to the evaluation and both placed in the personnel file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peer committee need not evaluate any faculty member whose service will cease at the end of the current year. That is, any faculty member who has stated in writing an intent to resign or retire, any faculty member completing a terminal year, or any faculty member with a fixed-length or soft-money appointment which will expire this year and will not be renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following receipt of the peer committee evaluation and after the period in which faculty may comment in writing, chairpersons will prepare their evaluations which will be discussed with the dean (vice president in units without deans) according to college practice prior to being communicated, also in writing, to the faculty member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation Criteria and Student Evaluation Forms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Each peer committee should annually review departmental evaluation criteria and student evaluation forms and procedures to consider revisions. Any revision is subject to administrative review and becomes effective at the beginning of the following academic or fiscal year. Proposed revisions to criteria should be submitted for administrative review by June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fixed Length Faculty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that AFUM faculty holding a multi-year, fixed-length term appointment who will continue their position into the next year are evaluated via the regular peer review process, they are included in the first year cycle. If their appointment is expected to end with the\u00a0<strong>2025-2026<\/strong>\u00a0academic year, no action is required beyond notifying the Dean or other administrative officers that the faculty member is not continuing their position at the present time. All AFUM unit faculty holding fixed-length appointments will receive a notice from the President reminding them of the nature of their appointment by\u00a0<strong>March 31<\/strong>\u00a0if it is ending. It is especially important that department chairs clearly communicate with fixed-length faculty about the nature of their position and potential reemployment opportunities. Approval of AFUM is required to extend fixed-length faculty beyond three years of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joint Appointments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty holding joint appointments are reviewed by a single peer committee for the purpose of evaluation, reappointment, tenure and promotion.&nbsp; The composition of the peer committee for the unit member in a joint appointment shall reflect the proportion of responsibilities assigned to the unit member in each department, division, or other appropriate unit.&nbsp; For the purpose of evaluation, reappointment, promotion, and tenure there shall be a single recommendation from the peer committee. &nbsp;Please note that a cooperating (unsalaried) appointment is not a joint appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reappointment Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-accordion ugb-accordion ugb-041a289 ugb-accordion--v2 ugb-accordion--design-basic ugb-main-block\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__item\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__heading\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><h4 class=\"ugb-accordion__title\">Who is Included in the Faculty Reappointment Cycle?<\/h4><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"ugb-accordion__arrow\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path d=\"M16.7 3.3L10 10 3.3 3.4 0 6.7l10 10v-.1l10-9.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content-inner\">\n<p>Regular faculty who do not now have tenure or continuing contract should be included in a cycle unless they have been currently reappointed beyond\u00a0<strong>June 30, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0(for fiscal-year faculty) or\u00a0<strong>August 31, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0(for academic-year faculty).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evaluation and reappointment of non AFUM unit faculty, such as non-represented faculty (Union Code= blank) or part-time regular faculty (Union Code= 009), does not need to follow the AFUM time table.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-accordion ugb-accordion ugb-ff0ae41 ugb-accordion--v2 ugb-accordion--design-basic ugb-main-block\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__item\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__heading\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><h4 class=\"ugb-accordion__title\">How is the Reappointment cycle determined?<\/h4><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" class=\"ugb-accordion__arrow\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><path d=\"M16.7 3.3L10 10 3.3 3.4 0 6.7l10 10v-.1l10-9.9z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"ugb-accordion__content-inner\">\n<p>The AFUM agreement bases the reappointment cycle (notice of reappointment\/non-reappointment) on the years of service in a probationary (tenure track or continuing contract eligible) appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reappointment cycle for soft money faculty is based on the number of years of regular University service unless otherwise noted in the faculty member\u2019s personnel file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Lecturers with on-going (non-fixed length) appointments are included in the first year reappointment round.
