Appeals Process
If faculty have any questions concerning the ratings on their Summary Evaluation Form, there are several steps they can follow:
-
- After receiving the completed Summary Evaluation Form, faculty can request a conference with the Department Chair to discuss their evaluation. The Department Chair will coordinate the meeting and discuss the evaluation, then submit a Supplemental Conference Form to the Dean’s office.
- At this point, faculty may choose to request a conference with the Dean by requesting it on the Supplemental Conference Form. The Supplemental Conference Form will be attached to the Summary Evaluation Form by the Department Chair and forwarded to the Dean.
- If requested, the Dean will coordinate a meeting and discuss the evaluation with the faculty member. The Dean will record the results of that meeting on a Supplemental Conference Form and attach it to the Summary Evaluation Form as well.
- After completing these steps, if a faculty member does not believe that their issues have been resolved, they may follow the official college grievance process, as outlined in Administrative Rule 4.0702.01: Resolution of an Employee Grievance (See also ACC Webpage: Employee Grievance Process).
- Change in ratings – if a change in the Overall Rating provided on the Annual Summary Evaluation Form is deemed appropriate, a new form should be completed, reviewed, signed by all necessary parties and attached to all previous documents.
