From InsideHigherEd, here:
… Sam Houston State’s proposal links poor collegiality assessments to comprehensive performance evaluations and assisted faculty development plans. Timelines for remediation vary by plan, but the maximum extension of any plan is one year. After that, the faculty member’s fate is in the hands of the dean and provost. Possible outcomes to the process range from restoration to regular faculty status to getting a new remediation plan to — most seriously, and to Grant’s point — initiation of dismissal proceedings.
The proposed policy on faculty performance reviews affirms that the “university environment is based on the principles of free exchange of ideas and information.” It defines collegiality as “respectful interaction and professionalism that is consistent with advancing the department or university.” …
So if you have a colleague who is consistently preventing the advancement of your department or the university, can you be disrespectful to them in your interactions? Asking for a friend.
That which is not forbidden is mandatory.
