Overview for Lecturer Evaluators
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.

- This includes both Full-time & Part-time Lecturers
- Rebuttal periods throughout the process are conducted through the Interfolio platform
