KEY POLICY PROVISIONS
Annual Objectives:
Established in consultation with the supervisor at the beginning of the applicable fiscal-year evaluation cycle.
Objectives represent an extension of expectations associated with performance domains.
Objectives should be related to the strategic goals of the organizational unit, the college, or the VCCS; to the professional growth and development of the faculty member; or to improvement in specific areas of the faculty member’s job performance.
Assessment of achievement of annual objectives is a required component of the comprehensive evaluation.

KEY POLICY PROVISIONS
Reward and Recognition: Faculty who have demonstrated exemplary performance and whose
contributions have had a major positive impact on the organizational unit, the college, or the VCCS must be acknowledged.
Reward and Recognition Committee:
membership is appointed by the President and must include a representative number of administrative faculty and a representative from Human Resources.
committee will establish processes for nominating, selecting, and rewarding administrative faculty.
Rewards and Recognitions may be awarded annually in each of the following categories: Mgmt. Effectiveness, College & Community Svc., Prof. Growth Development, and Non-routine Strategic & Special Project Activities
The college’s evaluation plan must include formal provisions for recognizing and rewarding performance that exceeds expectations.
Continuation Decisions
Administrative and professional faculty who receive a summary rating of “Does Not Meet Expectations” are subject to non-reappointment.
If the college elects to reappoint an administrative or professional faculty member who receives a summary rating of “Does Not Meet Expectations,” the supervisor will develop and document a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).
Progress toward satisfactory completion of the Performance Improvement Plan will be reviewed within six months of its establishment. Interim reviews may be conducted more frequently in accordance with the terms of the Performance Improvement Plan.
Failure to comply with the provisions of the Performance Improvement Plan may result in non-reappointment or dismissal of the faculty member.
