Part VIII. – POLICY ON USE AND DISTRIBUTION OF SELF-ASSESSMENT STATEMENTS WRITTEN FOR PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

Self-assessment statements are written to conform to the guidelines and purposes of formal university structures for performance reviews, including annual, third-year, tenure, promotion, fourth-year post-tenure, and post-sabbatical reviews. Faculty members and administrators who receive another person’s self-assessment in connection with a performance review process are not permitted, without written consent, to disclose, distribute, or use all or any part of such statement for any purpose outside of the process of evaluation for which the assessment was prepared.
