Administrative Personnel Performance Evaluation Forms (Division of Academic Affairs) Form 1 Form 2

These forms are used to conduct the annual review of administrative personnel in the Division of Academic Affairs. The supervisor completes one of the forms, or prepares a written letter, to evaluate the performance of employees in positions exempted by the State Universities Civil Service System (SUCSS). This includes all personnel not covered under a collective bargaining agreement or the SUCSS. These evaluations do not apply to faculty. In addition, these evaluation forms do not replace the existing periodic review process for Deans as outlined in the Faculty Policy Manual and by the Faculty Senate.

Assignment of Duties Form (Excel)

These forms are used for Unit A and Unit B faculty in defining ACE assignments for the Academic Year. Fall and Spring Semester assignments are tentatively scheduled during the previous academic year using this form. Revisions to assignments are also recorded on this form. See the University Timetable for specific Unit A deadlines for assigning ACEs. This form is forwarded to the Provost's Office from the Deans at the time the Faculty Summary ACE Workload Report forms are due in the Provost's Office.

Counteroffer Form (Excel)

This form is used when Unit A faculty seek a salary increase outside of the collectively bargained salary for a fiscal year.

  2. 1. For offers to prospective employees for whom a formal search was conducted, forward the offering letter with the Personal Data Sheet.
    2. For offers to prospective employees for whom a search waiver is requested, forward the offering letter with the Request to Fill.

  3. The Human Resources Office sends the offering letter to the candidate. Enclosures include New Employee Procedures and Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) List of Acceptable Documents.
  4. After the candidate accepts the position, Human Resources informs the department when the letter is sent.
  5. Employment is contingent upon receipt of appropriate documents for Employment Eligibility (Form I-9) and official transcripts from the candidate.

    An offering letter serves as the legally binding contract between the future employee and the university, thus its contents must be correct and precise. There are three basic types of offering letters. Depending on employee type, any new appointment would require one of these letters:
    a. New Administrative Appointment
    b. Tenure-Track Faculty Appointment
    c. Temporary Faculty/Administrative Appointment
    Temporary appointments require a letter each employment period. All other appointments are considered continuing and do not require reappointment letters each year
