Performance Evaluations

Purpose of Evaluations

Shorter College is committed to the effective and efficient pursuit of quality service through staff and faculty development and evaluation. The College needs employees who will aim to provide high-quality teaching, provide high-quality education through programs and support services and provide exemplary service to students and the community.  Thus, the College has established a formal evaluation system in determining the quantity, quality, and manner of performance 

The purpose of the formal performance evaluation is to:

  1. Ensure communication between the supervisor and employee. The formal process forces contact between the supervisor and the employee and allows each to report his or her impressions and observations.
  2. Review and determine how well an employee is performing in terms of the assigned tasks. Every job should be analyzed and assessed based on the job criteria.

Process for Conducting Performance Review

  1. All evaluation forms will be provided to Human Resources from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Assessment.
  2. All evaluation forms should be provided to the manager/supervisor 30-60 days prior to the completion of all performance evaluations (June 1st) from Human Resources.
  3. These evaluations are to be shared with all employees prior to conducting the performance evaluation.
  4. All evaluations should be evaluated against the job description.  (Please see the Faculty and Staff Handbook).
  5. Upon completion of the performance evaluation, all evaluators must return completed evaluations to the Human Resources/Personnel Office and provide a copy of the completed evaluation to the employee evaluated.

Institutional Research Board Process & Procedures

The primary purpose of the IRB is to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects involved in research activities being conducted under its authority. In so doing, the IRB shall ensure adherence to the criteria for IRB approval as listed in 45 CFR 46.111 and 21 CFR 56.111 i.e., that:

  1. For the purpose of IRB consideration, “benefit” is defined as a valued or desired outcome; an advantage.
  2. For the purpose of IRB consideration, “risk” is defined as the probability of harm or injury (physical, psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result of participation in a research study.
  3. In evaluating risk, the IRB is to consider the conditions that make the situation dangerous, per se (i.e., as opposed to those chances that specific individuals are willing to undertake for some desired goals). In evaluating risks and benefits, the IRB considers only those risks and benefits that may result from the research (i.e., as distinguished from risks and benefits of treatments or procedures that the patient would undergo if not participating in the research).
  4. In evaluating risks and benefits, the IRB does not consider possible long-range effects of applying knowledge gained in the research (e.g., the possible effects of research on public policy).

As a secondary purpose, the IRB must seek to ensure that the College, affiliate institutions, and the investigators that it serves are compliant with the ethical standards and regulations governing human subject research. The IRB and IRB Committee also serve to assist investigators in the design of ethical and regulatory compliant human subject research studies. Click here for the IRB Form.
