4. DEFINITION OF UNIFORM CRITERIA

All faculty, whatever their rank, experience, or discipline, are engaged in a similar intellectual enterprise and perform essentially the same kinds of services for the University. Hence faculty will be evaluated according to uniform criteria for instructional achievement, professional achievement, university service, and community service.

One qualification is recommended:

Given the great variety of professional work among the faculty, departments  are strongly encouraged to establish and maintain guidelines for professional achievement that are consistent with a) the department’s discipline or disciplines; b) the uniform criteria for professional achievement outlined in section 4.3 below; and 3) CSU professional criteria in general, as suitable to a teaching university. The guidelines will be developed by the departmental faculty and approved by the College Dean in consultation with his or her council of chairs. Such Guidelines, with a dated record of the department vote and the Dean’s approval, shall be kept on file in the offices of the College Dean and the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs.

4.1. Degree

This criterion is met by possession of the Doctorate, or the normal terminal degree (or in exceptional cases, the equivalent thereof). Each Department shall maintain with the Office of the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs an approved memorandum of understanding that will define the appropriate terminal degree for faculty serving in that Department.

Each Department, by majority vote of the tenured faculty of that Department, shall also file with the Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs a memorandum of understanding that will define equivalence for each terminal degree which is appropriate for members of the Department. This memorandum must be approved by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and by the Faculty Affairs Committee before it can become effective. Unless the appropriate memorandum is on file, no person shall be deemed to have such equivalence. Once a person receives an equivalent designation under this policy, no further designations of equivalency are required.

4.2. Instructional Achievement

Instructional achievement may be demonstrated by documentary evidence of the ability to select appropriate materials, to present course content effectively, and to make significant demands upon the intelligence and industry of students. Such documentary evidence shall include impartially administered student evaluations, peer evaluations, course syllabi, and additional information, such as samples of student work evaluated by the candidate, examinations, and supplemental materials. (See Section 3.3.2f.)

Student evaluations will be considered as one element in the full evaluation of instructional achievement. Additional support of instructional achievement may include evidence of any of the following, or other appropriate activities
