3.1 Criteria for Annual Evaluation
Faculty performance evaluations are conducted annually to support and encourage excellence by recognizing and rewarding outstanding academic performance; to provide guidance for faculty members regarding professional improvement and development; and to obtain information relevant to contract renewal, promotion, and termination, awards for teaching, research and advising, and merit pay decisions. (Details of the types of expected activities in these three fields are defined clearly in the Faculty Promotion Regulations and Guidelines, Section 2.2, which is available on the Alfaisal University Website (http://research.alfaisal.edu/faculty_promotion.html). Research expectations of faculty should reflect actual practice, allowing for distinction between disciplines based on international practice.
The general criteria for academic review are:
- University, professional and community service, including contributions to the effective functioning of the university, effectiveness of cooperation with colleagues, links with business, industry private or government entities, and contributions to professional communities and student life and academic environment.
