The College also wishes to maintain equity access across the faculty with service commitments.
Therefore, a faculty member who has extraordinary service commitments should elect the service
option within the STEPP Component of workload. In addition, faculty members should not take
on overly heavy service burdens. This detracts from their ability to teach effectively and to stay
professionally active. Examples of too-heavy service loads include but are not limited to:
a. serving on two committees while also advising 30 or more students;
b. concurrently serving as chair for more than one committee or department;
c. chairing one committee while serving on another (not including subcommittees of the
committee).
Sources of documentation include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
a. self report of activities and, where it is not self-evident, of time spent;
b. committee or committee chair ratings, or ratings by the supervisor of an activity
(e.g., a report from the Director of Admissions, the Vice President for University
Relations’ staff);
c. rating by Dean of Students office personnel; and
d. supervisor ratings.
The levels of performance in this area, in order and for the different ranks, are:
a. for Assistant Professors, proven or presumptive competence;
b. for Associate Professors, noteworthy performance;
c. for teaching or professional track Professors, outstanding performance;
d. for research track Professors or self-designed track Professors, either noteworthy
or outstanding performance.
