- Summary:
-
A study was conducted to investigate the current status of post-tenure faculty evaluation in the community college. Questionnaires were mailed to 1,290 tenured and non-tenured faculty and 421 administrators at 9 community colleges. Study findings, based on a 50.1% response rate, included the following: (1) 77% of the respondents indicated that formal post-tenure evaluation existed at their institution; (2) 56.8% of the administrators and 45.9% of the faculty worked at institutions where the primary stated purpose of post-tenure evaluation was faculty development and improvement; (3) 59.1% of the administrators and 49.6% of the faculty reported that the primary stated purpose, as well as their own preferred purpose for pre-tenure evaluation, was to provide information for personnel decisions; (4) classroom effectiveness and contributions to department/division were the criteria receiving the most emphasis in the post-tenure evaluation process; (5) respondents tended to disagree that criteria used to evaluate tenured faculty and non-tenured faculty should differ; (6) both faculty and administrators strongly agreed that there should be multiple sources of input in evaluations; and (7) 50.2% of the respondents indicated that post-tenure evaluation results were shared with faculty members, who were then personally responsible for correcting weaknesses. Major study recommendations and conclusions are included. (LAL)
