Amended on June 1, 2011 at the 2nd Collegiate Affairs Meeting of Liberal Arts

Amended on June 21, 2011 at the University’s Administrative Meeting

Effective from July 4, 2011 upon the announcement of the Liberal Arts College

In order to raise the level of faculty research, teaching, and service, the College of Liberal Arts of National Taiwan University (hereby referred to as the College) has set off these regulations in accordance with Article 9 of the University Faculty Evaluation Rules.

All full-time faculty of the College are subject to the College evaluation. Faculty members who do not submit their Dossier at the scheduled evaluation time or who provide false information, thus affecting the result of the evaluation, will be regarded as “FAILING the evaluation.”  

Evaluation regulations for each level of faculty are set as follows:  

All NEW FACULTY are scheduled for the FIRST evaluation implemented by the College of Liberal Arts in the THIRD year after the date of their initial appointment.  

a)    Instructors and assistant professors, after passing the first evaluation, are subject to one evaluation every three years by the College of Liberal Arts.

b)    Associate professors and full professors, after passing the first evaluation, are subject to one evaluation every five years.  

For faculty members who don’t pass the evaluation, the College should inform the evaluated teachers and explain the reason why they didn't pass.  The College shall also coordinate the Department, Graduate Institute, or the Degree Program to provide assistance for one to two years (dating from the next semester after one fails the evaluation), and then a re-evaluation will be conducted by the College.  If faculty are found unsatisfactory under re-evaluation, their cases should be submitted to the Collegiate and the University Teachers' Evaluation Committees to decide on their non-renewal of contract.

If faculty are transferred from other departments/institutes of NTU, their years of service at the previous departments/institutes should be counted in their evaluation timetable.

教師於升等通過後，其應評鑑之期限，自該次升等通過後起算。

When faculty members are promoted, their evaluation timetable should be recalculated after the promotion.

According to the "Guidelines on the Organization and Implementing Details of the NTU Teachers' Appeal and Arbitration Committee," Those who object to the resolution about their evaluation can appeal in writing to the Committee within 30 days after the day they receive a written notice.  

Full-time faculty members should pass the evaluation before applying for promotion.  Associate professors or below can seek the approval by the College to bring ahead their evaluation schedule if their years of service, including those at previous institutes, are already qualified for promotion.  

If faculty members do not meet the standards of evaluation, they cannot apply for sabbatical research and will not be eligible for salary increases.  Moreover, all the below restrictions will apply from the following year: 

They will not be allowed to hold part-time jobs or part-time teaching positions or take a job transfer outside the University; nor can they apply for deferral of retirement or take posts as NTU committee members or administrative directors.

經覆評通過者，自次年起，恢復晉薪及兼職、兼課及借調之權利。至前項所列其他權利之恢復，應符合其相關規定。

If they meet the standards under re-evaluation, they will be eligible for salary increases starting from the following year.  Restrictions concerning part-time jobs, teaching positions, and job transfers will also be lifted.  Resumption of the other rights (as indicated above) will depend on related regulations.

FULL and ASSOCIATE professors who meet one of the following conditions may be exempt from evaluation:

Those who have been elected as a Fellow of Academia Sinica.

Those who have received the Academic Award or National Award from the Ministry of Education.

Those who have taken the position of Chair Professor at distinguished Universities home or abroad and whose position has been acknowledged by NTU.  

同一研究案，僅得採前列各採記方式之一。但國科會傑出研究獎者，不在此限。

計入免評資格之國科會研究計畫主持經歷，以該會補助專題研究計畫作業要點所定之專題研究計畫為限。

★NOTES:
