I. Purpose and Policy Statement

GGC has established definite and stated criteria, consistent with Board of Regents and GGC policies, against which the performance of each faculty member will be evaluated. GGC has designed a system that consistently applies generally accepted values used to interpret the activities of its faculty. The annual evaluation process is considered as a tool to aid each faculty member’s professional development and to facilitate retention. Evaluations are conducted annually and are used as a faculty development and retention tool, as well as a review of contributions toward GGC’s Institutional Goals and as a source of information for determining merit pay raises. For specific procedures of the evaluation process, see GGC Faculty Manual of Policies and Procedures Faculty Evaluations/Annual Performance (approved by USG, December 9, 2022).

II. Scope

This policy applies to all GGC teaching faculty and library faculty members.

III. Roles and Responsibilities

More refined articulation of these values and their interpretation are the responsibility of individual schools and departments.
