To be considered eligible to evaluate Lecturer WPAFs, a Department Chair member MUST meet the following criteria:

• All evaluators must be tenured
• Cannot be on leave during any part of the semester in which the cycle is occurring
• Cannot have any conflict of interest (i.e. Nepotism)
• For FERP faculty who are teaching in both semesters of the academic year, permission must be requested from the Provost to serve as a DPRC member (Contact FAR for details)
