It is the responsibility of the department chair/school dean to recommend the renewal of all department/school faculty on an annual basis. For this to occur, each chair/school dean must carefully evaluate each member in the department/school.

1. Full-Time Faculty
   
   The chair/school dean is to contribute to each department/chair faculty member's evaluation by completing the Faculty Evaluation By Peer form (In Forms Central).  This is completed on the schedule outlined in the PLNU Faculty Handbook (Peer Evaluation, chapter IV, section Q). In anticipation of this, the chair/school dean is encouraged to observe the faculty member teaching and read the student, peer, and self evaluations. It is the responsibility of the chair/school dean, while working with the college dean, to offer commendations and suggest areas of improvement.
   
   
2. Adjunct Faculty
   
   
Adjunct faculty make a valuable contribution to PLNU and are often employed semester by semester. While they do not fall under the same evaluation process described in the PLNU Faculty Handbook for full-time faculty, it is imperative that their work be evaluated. The department chair/school dean should meet with these people periodically and see that they distribute student evaluations in all their classes. Annual recommendations regarding continued employment are to be submitted to the college dean.
