Evaluation of Faculty

Faculty performance will be evaluated annually. In the fall, each faculty member must submit:

  • statement of goals or expected outcomes and accomplishments for reporting year (two pages maximum)
  • impact statement (one page maximum)
  • statement of other contributions (optional; one page maximum)
  • current CV (highlight in yellow 2023 accomplishments)
  • completed teaching calculator (if they have a teaching appointment)
  • completed degree progress form for each graduate student advised or co-advised

Center or division directors will evaluate faculty who are part of their center or division. The SNR director will evaluate all other faculty.

Evaluation of Staff

Each fall and spring, staff are to meet with their supervisor to conduct a performance conversation and report it through Trakstar Perform. In late spring, the Assistant to the Director will ask supervisors to provide a merit recommendation for each of their staff. Prior to providing the recommendation, supervisors are asked to:

  • read employee's position description (must obtain from IANRHR@unl.edu)
  • read TrakStar reports from performance conversations
  • read any supervisor notes recorded during the year
  • complete the Merit Recommendation form
  • for an employee who "exceeds" or "does not meet expectations", the supervisor must provide documentation/justification (NOTE: if an employee's merit recommendation is "does not meet expectations", the TrakStar reports must include statements that reflect this.)
  • email the completed form with justification to the designated contact in the director's office.

The director will review/approve all merit recommendations before they will go forward
