Faculty performance review working group recommendations
In February 2025, FRC struck a joint Faculty Performance Review (FPR) working group with two FRC members from FAUW and two members from the University to review current faculty performance practices and to better understand differences in Faculty Performance Ratings processes and outcomes between and within faculties with the ultimate goal of improving equity in this process across the University. Since February 1, 2025, the group has met five times and a report was submitted to FRC at its June 26, 2025 meeting and discussed at several meetings following the working group’s presentation. See the attached report for more details on the consultation process.
