THE EVALUATION OF FACULTY SERVICES.
In this article, the author evaluates the faculty services with respect to the problems involved in awarding tenure and approval of promotion in rank. He mentions the criteria for promotion, appointment, tenure and salaries of faculty members for universities, liberal art colleges and technical schools. He describes a permanent tenure as the most important part of his professional life and details the standards of judgment used in making the decision of awarding a permanent tenure or not. He describes the steps involved in the evaluation process and the difficulties included in this comparison. He further mentions that examination by committees called impartial juries is one of the best ways of comparison. He discusses the shortcomings in the suggestion that promotion should be decided on the basis of the confidence an administrator has in the department and heads of departments. He finally mentions that there should be a considerable amount of integration between the promotion, tenure decision, salary decisions and decision on initial appointment.
