2011 to presentANNUAL REVIEW COMMITTEEGeorge A. ClumKirby Deater-DeckardRussell T. Jones

Three full professors are elected to review the FARs of all faculty members and provide comments and ratings. These ratings and comments are advisory comments to the Department Chair, who will convey the information along with the Department Chair's rating and comments. Only the Department Chair's ratings and comments will be forwarded to the Dean for the annual review. Because the Personnel Committee serves as the Department's Post-

Tenure Review Committee, full professors who are members of the Personnel Committee may not serve on the Annual Review Committee. The election plan approved at the Spring 1998 faculty meeting was to alternate the highest ranked full professors across the Annual Evaluation Committee and Personnel Committee. During fall 2004, faculty members voted that Annual Review Committee members will serve a two-year term, and the term will be based on calendar years. The last elections were held in December 2010 for the calendar years 2011 and 2012. The next election will be for a term that begins in January 2013.
