Contract Proposal, Article 14
Evaluation & Faculty Development
Our evaluations proposal is meant to transform the evaluation process from one that can be punitive to one meant to support faculty development.
First, the university must acknowledge that there is bias against women faculty, faculty of color, LGBTQ+ faculty, and other marginalized faculty in student evaluations.
Second, we proposed that student evaluations should not be weaponized against faculty; rather, the university must use them to provide constructive feedback for faculty to improve as instructors.
Third, we proposed that faculty be able to anonymously evaluate the university and their supervisors for factors that impacted faculty’s experience teaching their courses.
