Annual Reviews of Faculty Members

REG 05.20.03 Individual reviews of all faculty–tenured, tenure-track, non-tenure track–are to be conducted annually. Faculty with contract lengths less than one year are not subject to this regulation. It is the responsibility of each department head or designee to review the performance of each faculty member and to keep the appropriate dean apprised of the status of the reviews.

Professional Faculty Ranks and Appointments

The Code of the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina (the Code) and NCSU POL05.20.01 – Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Permanent Tenure authorize the establishment of special faculty appointments. NC State uses the term “professional faculty” rather than “special” or “non-tenure track” faculty. This regulation addresses professional faculty contracts and appointments used at NC State, and the criteria, terms and conditions of employment.

From the faculty member undergoing review to the college dean, each person involved must complete role-specific requirements for a successful post-tenure review process. The Provost Office has created role and responsibility pages related to help faculty who are undergoing post-tenure review or serving on post-tenure review committees

Post Tenure Review of Faculty: Performance Development Plans

Every faculty member found to not meet expectations as a result of post-tenure review must have a Performance Development Plan (PDP). PDPs can look quite different depending on the realm(s) of concern, the specific improvements needed, department standards and more. For that reason, NC State does not have a standard PDP template. The [tips at this link] can assist faculty and department heads in crafting clear, agreeable PDPs.
