Equity-Minded Reform of Faculty Evaluation - A Call to Action
March 22, 2022
This three-part report by KerryAnn O'Meara and Lindsey Templeton was published by the American Council on Education. The purpose is to provide evidence and rationale for why equity-minded reform of faculty evaluation policies and practices is urgently needed. The authors offer recommendations and examples as scholars who have studied equity, faculty careers, and academic reward systems, and as consultants who have worked with campuses to revise their faculty evaluation policies to become more equity minded.
The rationale for equity-minded faculty evaluation is included in this 18-page report. It is accompanied by a 2-page audit resource. A third publication on examples of policies is forthcoming.
