Eligibility to serve on DPRC

For full eligibility details please reference UPS 210.070, Section VII.B.

To be considered eligible to serve on the DPRC, a faculty member MUST meet the following criteria:

  • All evaluators must be tenured
  • Cannot be on leave during any part of the semester in which the cycle is occurring
  • Cannot have any conflict of interest (i.e. Nepotism)
  • For FERP faculty who are teaching in both semesters of the academic year, permission must be requested from the Provost to serve as a DPRC member (Contact FAR for details)

Candidate Role

Responding to the Rebuttal Period initiated by the Department Peer Review Committee (DPRC) Chair

Responsibilities for the Review Step

Due to a recent change in UPS 210.070 (June 2021), the DPRC and Department Chair review levels are NO LONGER SEPARATE.  Both the DPRC and Department Chair will have simultaneous access to their assigned Lecturer Interfolio cases, however each review committee is responsible for conducting its own rebuttal period.  

For the DPRC, the evaluation should be uploaded and shared with the faculty member under review BEFORE the Department Chair's.  This responsibility is under the purview of the DPRC Chair.

  1. Login
  2. Evaluate each WPAF in each case against UPS 210.070 or the appropriate Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty (DSLF)
  3. The evaluation shall be prepared on the Lecturer Evaluation Form (or Department equivalent) and contain, at a minimum:
    1. Details on the candidate/type of evaluation
    2. The names of the DPRC committee members
    3. Date the evaluation was completed
    4. The overall rating of the candidate
      1. Summary of Lecturer Ratings
    5. A written statement on the candidate’s performance

DPRC Chair Responsibilities

  1. Upload the completed DPRC Evaluation to the“Required Items”box on the“Case Details”page of each case
  2. Conduct the Rebuttal Period through Interfolio for the DPRC Evaluation ONLY

*PLEASE NOTE: FAR will not be creating binders this year, all paperwork that would normally have to go into the binder will be assigned as “Required Documents” at each review level.  The process for satisfying these requirements will be discussed below

Summary of Review Periods for Lecturer Evals

Part-time Lecturers might not have the SOQ and Grade Distribution Data for the entire period of review, because they do not always work for the entire Academic Year.  

Often Part-time Lecturers will work only 1 semester in an Academic year.
