Whereas Indiana Code (IN Code § 21-39.5-2-3 (2024)) requires that annual performance reviews of faculty and instructors include "substantial consideration to the faculty member's or person's performance regarding the criteria described in section 2(a)(1) through 2(a)(5) of [IN Code § 21-39.5-2]."
- For any annual review of instructional faculty, the relevant unit head will include the following statement unless all three of the criteria enumerated under (2) below are met: "The [unit head/Chair] has reviewed the file of [faculty name] and has determined that [faculty name] is in compliance with the criteria and requirements of IC 21-39.5-2-1 and IC 21-39.5-2-4(a)(3).
- The unit head may only refrain from including the statement specified above, in the case that all the following conditions are met:
- The faculty member has at least one SEA 202 complaint in their file that has been fully adjudicated including all available appeals and found to be meritorious.
- The candidate has been provided an opportunity to design and implement a development plan; and
- The candidate has declined to participate in designing and implementing a development plan.
- If the instructor's file contains SEA 202 complaints with merit, the unit head shall provide an option to the instructor to jointly create a development plan. The development plan shall document how instructor plans to come into compliance with SEA 202 and how the unit will support the instructor to do so.
