Range Elevation Workflow

Range Elevations typically occur in the Spring Semester and are ultimately decided by the Provost.  When these cases come through your Interfolio dashboard, they are on a very strict timeline.  Please make sure to complete all responsibilities in each case and forward all of them onto the next review level by the due date listed in the annual FAR evaluation timetables.

Ineligible Department Chairs

For full details on eligibility please reference UPS 210.070, section VII.B.

When a Department Chair within your college is either un-tenured, on leave during the semester when Lecturer Evaluations are occurring, or has some other conflict of interest (i.e. Nepotism) then he or she is considered ineligible to evaluate Lecturer WPAFs for a given cycle.  When this occurs the Department Chair review level will be skipped, and the Dean will need to evaluate the case(s) as the appropriate administrator.  

Candidate Role in Review Step

Responding to the rebuttal period set up by the College Dean or the Dean's office.  

Responsibilities for the Review Step

  1. Login
  2. Evaluate each WPAF in each case against UPS 210.070 or the appropriate Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty (DSLF)
  3. The evaluation shall be prepared on the Lecturer Evaluation Form (or college equivalent) and contain, at a minimum:
    1. Details on the candidate/type of evaluation
    2. The Dean’s name
    3. Date the evaluation was completed
    4. The overall rating of the candidate
      1. Summary of Lecturer Ratings
    5. A written statement on the candidate’s performance
  4. Upload the completed Evaluation to the“Required Items”box on the“Case Details”page of each case
  5. Share the Evaluation with the DPRC & Department Chair
  6. Share the evaluation with the candidate and administer the rebuttal period*
    1. *While most Deans administer rebuttal periods for Lecturers, they are not technically required by the appropriate administrator as faculty can add a response to their PAF at any time
  7. Share any rebuttals to the Dean's Evaluation with the DPRC & Department Chair
  8. Forward case to the next review level by the due date listed in the Annual FAR Timetables

*PLEASE NOTE: FAR will not be creating binders this year, all paperwork that would normally have to go into the binder will be assigned as “Required Documents” at each review level.  The process for satisfying these requirements will be discussed below

Summary of Review Periods for Lecturer Evals

Part-time Lecturers might not have the SOQ and Grade Distribution Data for the entire period of review, because they do not always work for the entire Academic Year.  

Often Part-time Lecturers will work only 1 semester in an Academic year.
