UW-W Instructional Academic Staff Policies
Section VI-A, 4.01 Performance Review (excerpt)

Review of teaching academic staff will follow identical procedures at the departmental level to those currently utilized for probationary faculty. Thus, peer review and student evaluation shall be taken into consideration along with any other points of consideration such as public service and research productivity, where applicable. If the contractual terms specify otherwise, then criteria for evaluation shall be restricted to the provisions of the contractual terms. Following departmental reappointment committee review, as well as departmental chairperson review, recommendations on the academic staff member's performance shall be made known to the academic staff member in writing, and the performance recommendation shall be forwarded to the appropriate administrative office prior to March 1st in the first two years of appointment and prior to December 1st thereafter. The academic staff member shall have the right to respond in writing within ten (10) working days. Both documents shall be filed in the academic staff member's official personnel file.
