1.1 INTRODUCTION

This Faculty Handbook is effective as of July 1, 2019, and applies to all faculty members at Kansas Wesleyan University (“KWU”). This Handbook is not all-inclusive, but is intended to provide a summary of guidelines and procedures. In the event of any conflict between the specific terms or provisions of an individual faculty member’s letter of appointment or reappointment and the language of this Faculty Handbook, the faculty member’s letter of appointment or reappointment shall prevail.

The part-time or adjunct faculty members, as well as full-time employees of Kansas Wesleyan University who are under part-time teaching contracts, will be reviewed by the Department Chair during each year of employment at Kansas Wesleyan University.

Departments shall meet at least once each semester.

Program Head

In some cases, there is more than one academic program and/or major within a department. In these cases, the department designates a Program Head. The Program Head is consulted by the Department Chair in issues of assessment, scheduling, budgeting, and staffing.

Duties and Responsibilities

The Program Head shall have the duty and responsibility to:

4. Oversee planning and implementation of departmental assessments, including regular program review and assessment of student learning in each department’s major(s), and
5. Locate and recommend adjunct faculty members for program/major courses to the Provost.

2.5 MAJOR CHANGES IN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

1. The formal decision to discontinue, change, or add a department or program may be originated by a division, the Divisional Council, or the Provost. In any case, the recommendation must be accompanied by supporting evidence related to the review of academic programs, enrollment trends, and related information.
2. If the matter originates with the division, the proposal and all supporting material will be submitted to the Divisional Council and then to the Faculty. A Faculty decision to add or discontinue a department, division, or program, must be approved by the Divisional

Council, the Faculty, and the Provost, and be forwarded for approval by the President and the Board of Trustees.

3. If the matter originates with the Provost, the proposal and supporting materials must be submitted to the Divisional Council and the Faculty for review and consideration, and must be forwarded to the President and Board of Trustees for approval or disapproval.
4. Such decisions will be based on educational considerations that reflect the long-range judgment that the educational mission of the university will be enhanced by the changes, rather than on cyclical or temporary variations in enrollment.

A formal search committee and a nationally advertised search are normally required for any full-time opening. Active efforts should be made to recruit applicants from underrepresented groups so that the Faculty can adequately reflect the student body and serve as a model of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Less formal procedures may be employed by the Provost to fill part-time positions (especially those less than one-halftime), to convert ranked part-time faculty members to full-time openings when time constraints necessitate quick decisions. But before any new appointment is made, consultation should occur with relevant Division and Department Chairs. As full- and part-time openings occur, the Provost will consult with the appropriate Division and Department Chairs regarding the nature of the position to be filled, the qualifications necessary, and the persons who should serve on the search committee. The search committee will have the responsibility to do the following:

1. Review the applications submitted and recommend to the Provost those applicants who should be interviewed on campus;
2. Interview selected applicants;
3. Invite observations and opinion on selected applicants from any interested faculty member, especially those from relevant departments; and
4. Recommend to the Divisional Council and the Provost those candidates who should be offered the position.

Recommendation of personnel for employment will be made to the President by the Provost. Appointments will be made by the President, or recommended by the President to the Board of Trustees as provided by the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees.

3.3 TENURE ELIGIBILITY

Tenure-track professors, associate professors, and assistant professors shall be eligible for tenure status no earlier than the completion of four semesters, and no later than the end of seven years of full-time service with the University as a teaching faculty member. Tenure eligibility shall be considered during the sixth year of full-time service with the University as a teaching faculty member. In exceptional cases involving significant prior teaching experience, this determination may occur prior to the sixth year of full-time service with the University. Evaluations for tenure will occur only in the fall semester.

If tenure is not granted during the sixth year, the faculty member is given a terminal contract of the seventh year. If the faculty member wishes to request re-evaluation of the tenure decision, such a request must be made no later than September 1 st^ of the seventh year. The Provost, in consultation with the President, may grant the request but is not bound to do so. If the request is granted, the Provost will schedule a subsequent review.

Tenured faculty are expected to model behaviors to which non-tenured faculty should aspire.

3.4 PEER REVIEW PROCESS

The purpose of the Faculty Peer Preview Process at KWU is to:

1. Identify and acknowledge excellence and deficiencies in instruction, advising, service, and scholarship.
2. Identify impediments to effective instruction, advising, service, and scholarship.

3. Identify and provide feedback on appropriate professional development in instruction, advising, service, and scholarship.
4. Make recommendations for continuation of contract and recommendations for promotion, and tenure when appropriate.

3.4.1 Administration

The Divisional Council will be responsible for the implementation of the Peer Review process. They, in consultation with the Provost, will identify those candidates that will undergo reviews, inform them of the level and timing of their review, and, in consultation with the individual candidates, select the Peer Review committee for each candidate. The selection process is identified in the appropriate level of review section.

The Divisional Council will be responsible for assuring that process was followed. They will review the documents submitted by the Peer Review Committee and the Provost/Academic Dean and will submit

their conclusions to the President. If it is determined that process was not followed, they will inform the president of the occurrence and if they feel a new hearing is required.

Divisional Council will evaluate all rejoinders along with evidence files, and letters and submit a

determination to the President and the candidate within five business days of their evaluation.

3.4.2 Training

All new faculty are trained on peer review during their first year. The Provost or Academic Dean will train all existing faculty on changes and updates to the process. No first year employee will serve on peer

review unless a compelling need is shown.

Training for Divisional Council will be provided annually. Training shall be provided by the Provost or Academic Dean.

3.4.3 Faculty Member Evaluation Process
