Full-Time Lecturer Evaluations for Reviewers

Overview

IMPORTANT! In October 2025, California regulations clarified that using Automated Decision Systems (ADS)—including AI—is subject to the anti-discriminatory obligations under the CA Fair Employment and Housing Act (Title 2, Section 11008.1). Therefore, ADS and AI may not be used to make decisions related to hiring, promotions, and evaluations of faculty, including making ratings and recommendations. Candidate and employee data cannot be uploaded into ChatGPT or other AI tools.

UPS 210.070 defines the overall infrastructure for how evaluations for lecturer faculty are conducted including evaluation criteria and the steps in the review process workflow.

Some departments have Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty that have been approved by the Provost's office, which will provide the evaluation criteria for lecturer faculty in that specific department. Check to see if the department whose faculty you are evaluating have a set of approved standards before beginning your evaluation.

  • ALL Lecturer Evaluations are conducted digitally through the Interfolio platform.
    • This includes both Full-time & Part-time Lecturers.
    • Rebuttal periods throughout the process are conducted through the Interfolio platform.
    • All performance evaluation and rebuttal documentation are uploaded digitally to Interfolio.
    • The Lecturer Checklist has been incorporated into the Interfolio Review packet.
