ADHERENCE TO THE UNIVERSITY RTP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES A. The Cllege f Business Administratin (CBA) uses the same definitins, terms, and abbreviatins as defined in the University RTP dcument. B. Prvisins f this dcument are t be implemented in cnfrmity with University RTP plicies and prcedures; the CSU Cllective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), Articles 13, 14, 15; and the University Plicy n Ethical Cnduct. The candidate shuld nte, particularly, University prcedures that prvide guidance n the wrking persnnel actin file (WPAF) and describe the respnsibilities f the candidate in the review prcess. C. The CSUSM RTP dcument specifies a rle f departments and chairs in the retentin, tenure, and prmtin plicy in accrdance with the CBA. In its present frm, CBA is rganized int departments with designated department chairs wh have administrative and prgram respnsibilities. Thus, the Cllege f Business Faculty have agreed that the standards set frth in this CBA Retentin, Tenure and Prmtin Dcument prvide the fllwing: 1. The academic unit reviewing the candidate's file will be a department specific Peer Review Cmmittee. 2. Whereas the CSUSM RTP dcument states that departments may specify standards fr retentin, tenure and prmtin, CBA Faculty designate the standards set frth in this dcument
as the standard fr all departments within CBA until such time as departments wish t create separate standards. 3. Department chairs may make separate recmmendatins. Such recmmendatins shall be frwarded t subsequent levels f review. If the chair makes a separate recmmendatin, he/she shall nt participate as a member f the peer review cmmittee (see University RTP plicy; CBA Article 15.). D. The Cllege is guided als by the standards f American Assciatin f Clleges and Schls f Business (AACSB), the internatinal accrediting agency fr schls f business II. GUIDING PRINCIPLES A. The perfrmance areas that shall be evaluated include teaching, schlarship, and service. While there will be diversity in the cntributins f faculty members t the University, CBA recgnizes that teaching, schlarship and service are all central t the institutin; therefre, faculty members must submit a curriculum vita and narrative statements describing the summary f teaching, research and service fr the review perid. The faculty member must meet the minimum standards in each f the three areas. B. Retentin, tenure, and prmtin decisins are made n the basis f the evaluatin f individual perfrmance. Candidates are respnsible fr 1) becming familiar with the standards; 2) understanding the standards; 3) engaging in activities that meet the standards and 4) effectively cmmunicating hw they have met the standards. C. Activities cunted and assessed in ne area f perfrmance shall nt be duplicated in any ther area f perfrmance evaluatin. D. Candidates fr retentin will shw effectiveness in each area f perfrmance and demnstrate prgress tward meeting the tenure requirements in the areas f teaching, schlarship and service. E. Candidates fr the rank f assciate prfessr require an established recrd f effectiveness in teaching, schlarship and service t the University. F. Candidates fr the rank f prfessr require, in additin t cntinued effectiveness, an established recrd f initiative and leadership in teaching, schlarship, and service t the University, the prfessin and the cmmunity. Prmtin t the rank f prfessr will be based n the recrd f the individual since he/she was prmted t the rank f assciate prfessr. G. The granting f tenure at any rank recgnizes accmplishments and services perfrmed by the faculty member during his/her career. The recrd must shw sustained and cntinuus activities and accmplishments. The granting f tenure is an expressin f cnfidence that the faculty member has bth the cmmitment t and the ptential fr cntinued develpment and accmplishment thrughut his/her career. Tenure will be granted nly t individuals whse
recrd meets the standards required t earn prmtin t the rank at which the tenure will be granted. H. The recmmending f early tenure (prir t the 6th year in rank) fr assistant prfessrs is cnsidered an exceptin. An individual shuld have a minimum f three years f service at CSUSM. A psitive recmmendatin requires that the candidate's recrd clearly exceeds the articulated standards fr the granting f a tenure/prmtin decisin and that the recrd demnstrates a sustained level f accmplishment at CSUSM in all areas. I. Faculty wh are hired at an advanced rank withut tenure may apply fr tenure after tw years f service at CSUSM (i.e., in Fall f their third year at CSUSM). A psitive recmmendatin requires that the candidate's recrd at CSUSM clearly demnstrates a cntinued level f accmplishment in all areas and, tgether with the candidate's previus recrd, is cnsistent with the articulated standards fr the granting f tenure at the Faculty member's rank. III. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR TEACHING A. Fr retentin, tenure, and prmtin, Cllege faculty members are expected t demnstrate sustained effective teaching. "Effective teaching" is instructinal activity in supprt f the Cllege Missin and is demnstrated by infrmatin in the teaching prtfli sectin f the WPAF. B. "Teaching" includes instructinal activity such as the fllwing: classrm teaching labratry teaching supervisin f Senir Experience and Masters prjects curse develpment curriculum develpment prgram develpment pedaggical self-develpment supervisin f student independent study student advising and cunseling University-apprved student evaluatin f teaching frms and summary and grade distributins fr all classes taught since the last prmtin (e.g. all sectins f BUS 304) Representative syllabi fr curses taught) Other curse instructinal materials such as candidate-prepared cases and assignments, handuts, and exams University-generated Grade Cnfirmatin Reprts in the curses fr which student evaluatins f teaching are furnished (reprts shuld nt include student names r id numbers). Written peer evaluatins
Dcumentatin regarding curse, curriculum, r prgram develpment Dcumentatin regarding pedaggical innvatins Dcumentatin regarding pedaggical self-develpment Dcumentatin regarding supervisin f student independent study Dcumentatin regarding student advising and cunseling Additinal summary infrmatin regarding grading Letters frm frmer students (identified as slicited r unslicited) Teaching awards Other items chsen by the faculty member 2. The fllwing dcumentatin is ptinal: 3. Occasinally, candidates may cnclude that their Student Evaluatin f Teaching ratings are nt an accurate reflectin f their teaching effectiveness. In these cases, candidates may believe that their peers wuld be better able t evaluate their teaching effectiveness. Accrdingly, candidates may btain written peer evaluatin f their teaching, which they may submit as supplementary evidence f their teaching perfrmance. C. The Teaching Prtfli A candidate's teaching perfrmance shall be based n an evaluatin f the entire teaching prtfli. 1. The fllwing dcumentatin is required: D. Evaluative Criteria. 1. Prmtin frm Assistant Prfessr t Assciate Prfessr At the Assistant Prfessr level, evidence f effective teaching that meets standards includes but is nt limited t: student evaluatins that demnstrate classrm effectiveness fr the types f curses taught and, syllabi that clearly articulate curse bjectives and requirements and currency in the field, assignments that help students accmplish the curse bjectives, and assessments that measure hw successfully students accmplish the curse bjectives. While nt required, evidence f teaching effectiveness may include dcumentatin f curse, curriculum, r prgram develpment. 2. Prmtin frm Assciate Prfessr t Prfessr As mre experienced faculty, Assciate Prfessrs being cnsidered fr prmtin t Prfessr are held t a higher standard. Accrdingly, t be rated meets standards, a candidate at the Assciate Prfessr level is expected t demnstrate leadership and initiative in curriculum
related activities. These activities include curse, curriculum and prgram develpment, refinement and renewal. This is in additin t dcumentatin f cntinued teaching effectiveness (See Sectin III. D1). See als Sectin II. F. 3. Retentin Candidates fr retentin are t include the required items fr curses taught and additinal ptinal materials in their teaching prtfli t shw evidence f effrts and effectiveness in teaching. Because this is an evaluatin intended t prvide guidance, candidates will be assessed n their current teaching perfrmance as well as n effrts that have made t address prir perfrmance feedback. 4. Tenure Candidates fr tenure, at Assciate and Full, wh are nt requesting a prmtin in rank must shw evidence f effective teaching at CSUSM that meets standards apprpriate fr their rank as specified in Sectins III. D.1. and 2. IV. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR SCHOLARSHIP A. Fr retentin, tenure, and prmtin, Cllege faculty members are expected t engage in schlarship and creative activity. The emphasis is n quality and sustained schlarship ver the entire perid f the review. 1. It is essential t the University's Missin that each faculty member demnstrate cntinued cmmitment, dedicatin, and grwth as a schlar. Faculty seeking prmtin are expected t prvide evidence f a cntinual recrd f quality schlarship. In all cases, schlarship results in disseminatin f that knwledge r understanding beynd the classrm. 2. Schlarship must be in the field f Business/Management r a related discipline and may be basic, applied, integrative, and/r pedaggical. This plicy is intended t be in-line with AACSB standards: "Schls with a mix f undergraduate and graduate prgrams, but withut dctral prgrams, may have a balance amng basic schlarship, applied schlarship, and instructinal develpment." 3. Measurement f schlarly achievement will include evaluatin by prfessinal persns in a psitin t assess the quality f the cntributin t the candidate's discipline. Evidence f prfessinal evaluatin includes, but is nt limited t, acceptance f schlarly wrk by an academic peer reviewed publicatin r acceptance f schlarly wrk by an editrial bard f a practitiner-riented publicatin. Schlarship needs t be substantive. Reviewers cnsider factrs such as single authrship, lead authrship, relative cntributin t multiple-authred pieces, and cntributin f the wrk t the faculty member's field as evidence f substantive wrk. B. Schlarship and evidence f schlarly activities include, but are nt limited t: 1. Categry A:
papers published r accepted fr publicatin in peer reviewed r editrial-bard reviewed jurnals recgnized as reputable and f gd quality. bks r manuscripts published r accepted fr publicatin as wrks that cntribute new knwledge as demnstrated by prfessinal and academic reviewers peer r editrial reviewed published bk chapters f riginal material and riginal mngraphs 2.

3. Retentin: Candidates fr retentin may include dcumentatin frm Categry C (in additin t A and B) t shw effectiveness in perfrmance and demnstrate prgress tward meeting the tenure requirements in the area f schlarship. 4. Tenure: Candidates fr tenure at Assciate and Full wh are nt requesting a prmtin in rank must meet the schlarship standards fr their current rank as specified in Sectins IV. C. 1. and 2., and have demnstrated a cntinual recrd f quality schlarship. *Only published items nt cnsidered in the last prmtin may be cnsidered. (Als see Sectin II. F.) V. STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR SERVICE ACTIVITIES A. Fr retentin, tenure and prmtin, Cllege faculty members are expected t demnstrate a sustained recrd f effective service cntributins, bth internally and externally. Service activities will be evaluated based n the quality f the service and its relevance t the Cllege and University Missins. Each faculty member is expected t participate in service activities; hwever, the apprpriate mix and magnitude f service will vary with the faculty member's rank. Assistant prfessrs are expected t participate primarily in internal service activities whereas Assciate and Full prfessrs are expected t participate in bth internal and external activities and in leadership rles. Attendance at meetings is expected but attendance alne is nt sufficient t demnstrate significant cntributin.
