  1. Is the leave for research?

    1. Yes: does not affect the schedule. CPR should proceed as planned.

    2. No: (next)

  2. Is this “approved personal leave without pay (part-time or full-time) for medical reasons during the time when the CPR is being conducted”?

    1. Yes: The department chair should send COLA a request for deferral (see Step 2.5) of the faculty member’s CPR to the following AY, once the LWOP (full or part time) has been approved (See LWOP wiki). Once the deferral request is approved by EVPP, the faculty member can be notified of the CPR’s deferral to the following AY. (If the chair is the one needing deferral, department should reach out to COLA.)

    2. No: (next)

  3. Is the faculty member continuously using sick leave (part-time or full-time) for at least one full long academic term of the year the CPR is scheduled?

    1. Yes: The department chair should send COLA a request for deferral (see Step 2.5) of the faculty member’s CPR to the following AY. The department is also responsible for ensuring the faculty member’s sick time off and/or FMLA hours are recorded in WD (see Faculty Sick Leave wiki). Once the deferral request is approved by EVPP, the faculty member can be notified of the CPR’s deferral to the following AY. (If the chair is the one needing deferral, department should reach out to COLA.

    2. No: It sounds like the scenario will not impact the schedule for the CPR. If in doubt, check with COLA HR.

Step 2.5: What about Deferrals?

...

  1. Establish the basis of the deferral request:

    1. The Faculty Sick Leave wiki page lays out a variety of scenarios involving faculty sick leave and/or requesting time off due to medical reasons, including the steps to follow depending on the situation.

      1. Before requesting a CPR deferral on behalf of the faculty member, the department should verify that the situation will meet the eligibility conditions.

      2. COLA HR will verify that the LWOP request is final-approved OR that there is an approved FMLA and/or absence request (or submitted timesheets) in process for sick time off in Workday for the relevant semester before submitting the CPR deferral.

  2. If the deferral request meets the criteria of the Guidelines, the Department shall forward the written request (can be email) to COLA HR, including whether the Chair supports the request.  Or, if the faculty member is already on sick leave/FMLA/LWOP, the Chair/department can/should submit the request on behalf of the faculty member.

    1. Please note that unless the faculty member is already on LWOP and/or using sick time off and/or on approved FMLA, the Department, et. al., shall proceed with the review as scheduled until they receive confirmation that the deferral request has been approved. (Meaning, there’s no reason to suppose that the request will be denied if it meets the specified criteria, but if there is any doubt about eligibility, it is better to plan a contingency.)

  3. COLA HR will check with Dean(s) and then forward request to EVPP for final approval.

  4. EVPP will approve or deny the request, based on the Guidelines, and COLA HR will send this notification to back to Department.

    1. Please note that, if approved, the faculty member will need to be reviewed in the following year, and they should be notified of that fact once the deferral is approved.

Step 3: Reviewee Submits Materials

...

The Guidelines also list optional items for the review.

back to the top

Step 4: Initial Review Conducted

...

  1. Per the Guidelines sec. 5.f., the initial committee must share their initial results (report, with ratings), with the reviewee.

  2. The reviewee can

    1. Ask to meet with committee; and/or

    2. Provide written comments about report; and/or

    3. Submit additional materials for consideration; or

    4. Acknowledge receipt and inform committee they have nothing to add.

  3. Clarification, re: If reviewee submits written comments:

    1. If reviewee provides corrections (to typos or factual errors), then it would be expected that the review committee would correct the mistakes.

    2. If the reviewee provides a statement in response to the review as part of the record, that statement should be appended to the report and accompany it at every subsequent stage of review.

  4. Once reviewee had had a chance to read and respond to the report, the report (along with written reviewee response, if applicable,) shall be submitted for the supervisor’s evaluation, as determined in Step 2, C. Path of Review.

back to the top

Step 5: Supervisor’s Review

...

  1. The Admin Supervisor will read the initial committee report, and, if applicable, the reviewee comments.

  2. If they agree with report:

    1. They would write a brief summary statement agreeing with the committee and adding any specific input or comments of their own, and/or confirm the final ratings categories: Overall, Service, and whichever other area ratings apply.

    2. They would send their final evaluation to the reviewee and to COLA HR.

    3. COLA HR would ensure the COLA Summary Form is updated appropriately, and that the full report is complete and on file, including:

      1. The COLA Summary Form (complete);

      2. The Admin Supervisor statement;

      3. Reviewee response to initial committee review, if applicable;

      4. Reviewee CV; and

      5. CIS-CES Summary and Grad Committee reports, as applicable.

    4. If the reviewee submits additional comments in response, those will be added to the final report.

    5. COLA HR will ensure the results are incorporated into the COLA CPR Results Report, due to EVPP before June 15.

  3. If they disagree with report:

    1. Request more information, and/or ask the initial committee to reevaluate one or more areas of their review; OR

      1. Whatever the results of this step, they will eventually need to finalize and communicate the CPR ratings, as in “c” below, or as in step #2 above.

    2. Initiate an additional intensive review (see AIR, Step 5.5.); OR

    3. Provide a separate statement, specifying the parts of the review with which they disagree, and assigning the final ratings categories: Overall, Service, and whichever other area ratings apply.

      1. They would send this final evaluation to the reviewee and to COLA HR.

      2. Proceed as in steps 2.c. through 2.e. above.

back to the top

Step 6: Dean’s Review (if Step Five = Chair’s Review)

...

  1. The Dean will read the department report, CV, and additional statements added by the chair or reviewee, as applicable.

  2. If the Dean has sufficient information to complete the CPR, the Dean will assign ratings (overall and areas) and summarize the results, providing additional context, as needed, when the review differs from prior levels. [If not, go to #3.]

    1. The Dean will provide the final summary report to COLA HR, who will update the CPR Coversheet, add the Dean’s report to the other documents comprising the CPR report, and send the results to the reviewee on the Dean’s behalf (cc: Chair(s)).

      1. Any Unsatisfactory ratings will require the reviewee’s direct supervisor, in collaboration with the dean and EVPP Faculty Affairs, to formulate a “short-term development plan” within one month of the delivery of the final review results. (see Unsatisfactory tab)

    2. In addition, COLA HR will compile the results for the college-wide report to the Provost’s Office.

  3. If the Dean does not have sufficient information and/or wants further review:

    1. The Dean can request an additional intensive review (see AIR Step 5.5 tab).

    2. Following the AIR, will complete the review as in #2 above.

back to the top

Step 5.5ish: Additional Intensive Review (AIR)

...

  1. Depending on the review path of the CPR, either the Admin Supervisor or Dean is responsible for appointing the AIR committee by April 15.

    1. If Admin Supervisor: they will follow the same guidelines as when appointing the initial review committee (see process Step 2, C.3 and C.4.).

    2. If Dean: they will follow the same committee selection rules determined in Step 2, C. Path of Review, based on the reviewee’s appointment(s).

  2. Once appointed, the AIR committee may request additional materials or information from the reviewee.

  3. The AIR Committee drafts their report--including overall rating and applicable area ratings--and sends to reviewee.

  4. Reviewee does not have to take action at this point, but they can

    1. Request to meet with AIR Committee,

    2. Submit additional material for review, or

    3. Provide written comments to accompany the report.

  5. After reviewee has had a chance to look at AIR report and provide any feedback and/or written comments, the AIR committee will finalize their report and submit it to Dean or Admin Supervisor, as appropriate.

  6. Dean will finalize the CPR as in Step 6, A.2.; Admin Supervisor will finalize the CPR as in Step 5, B. above.

back to the top

Step 7: Reporting to the Provost’s Office

...

  1. CPR final ratings and report(s) are communicated to the faculty member (cc: supervisor) with one (or more) unsatisfactory ratings; supervisor has one month from this date to draft a development plan.

    1. Note: It is very likely that, following the path of review, the faculty member will have received the unsatisfactory rating(s) during earlier stages of review, and thus, the supervisor would benefit from preparing a draft plan in advance of the final rating(s).

    2. The requirements of the plan are listed in the Guidelines, section 7.b. The Chair/Supervisor will need to work with the Provost’s Office on putting together a reasonable plan (per the Guidelines), but the COLA Dean’s Office is also here to assist and facilitate this process.

  2. Once the supervisor has finalized the short-term development plan (in collaboration with EVPP and COLA), they shall send it to the faculty member and cc: the department manager. They should also send this to Ann K. on behalf of COLA (and can do so via bcc: or by forwarding the email). Ann will share with Dean.

  3. COLA will submit the copy of the development plan to the Provost’s Office before the deadline of August 15.

  4. Once the plan has been communicated, it is up to the supervisor and any other individual named in the plan for this purpose (see Guidelines 7.b.) to monitor the faculty member’s progress during the following academic year (fall and spring) and provide a status report (which goals were met, which weren’t, etc.) to the dean (c/o COLA HR) after the Spring term, but before Aug. 1 of that AY, per the Guidelines.

    1. COLA will share with Provost’s Office by the deadline.

    2. Presumably, if the plan isn’t progressing well, the Chair/Supervisor should be in touch with the Dean and Provost about any additional steps that may be needed, prior to turning in the status report.
