w88 online live casino of the Department of Sociology

Chapter I - w88 online live casino

Chapter II - Mission and Organization of the w88 online live casino

The w88 online live casino of Sociology, a unit of the School of Social Research and Justice Studies of the College of Liberal Arts, is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service in the best tradition of a liberal arts education. The w88 online live casino prides itself in providing a quality education to its majors, minors and graduate students. It is also committed to serving the larger university community by participation in such programs as the Silver Core Curriculum.

As part of a research-oriented discipline, the w88 online live casino is committed to the production of new knowledge. This goal is accomplished by ongoing faculty research, supervision of graduate and undergraduate student theses, directing independent research, and critically evaluating past research in order to contribute and to provide alternative theoretical schemes.

The w88 online live casino is committed to the transmission of knowledge, both old and new, within the context of a liberal arts tradition. The teaching functions of the w88 online live casino are carried out in many diverse but complementary fashions; classroom and on-line instruction, tutorials, internships, reading groups, discussion groups, informal discussion and debate, assignment of supervised projects, supervised independent reading, counseling of students, and serving on student committees. Within this liberal arts tradition, the w88 online live casino views one of its major functions to be that of providing the student with alternative ways of interpreting social processes. Our commitment is to both graduate and undergraduate education. We view sociology as a discipline that requires scientific rigor in the critical analysis of societal processes.

As a service unit, the w88 online live casino contributes in several different ways. Foremost, of course, are the teaching and research functions. Through their intimate relations with each other, teaching and research provide the basis for addressing old problems from new perspectives; they also provide the possibility for examining novel problems from perspectives, which are critical of preconceived solutions. In other words, some of our major bases for service center on the production of knowledge and provisions for creative and critical dialogue, which inform outreach activities of the w88 online live casino. Several areas of contribution for these professional services are: engaging in college and university committee work, and providing service to various governmental, civic, and professional groups.

The faculty of the w88 online live casino may include regular faculty, contingent faculty, and adjunct faculty.

  The primary responsibility of the personnel committee is to assist the chair in the annual evaluation of regular w88 online live casino and in matters related to tenure and/or promotion of w88 online live casino. The personnel committee shall advise the chair on all other personnel matters as needed.

  The personnel committee is responsible for thoroughly and fairly evaluating a person's performance over the past calendar year and should limit their evaluation to that year. Evaluators should apply the same standards for all faculty. In keeping with the tool kit provided by the University of Nevada, Reno w88 online live casino of Human Resources, evaluators should follow these principles:
  - Avoid "permanent halo or doghouse" effects by focusing on the current evaluation year rather than recalling past performances
  - Single aspects of a w88 online live casino member's performance should not determine their entire rating
  - All judgments must be supported by evidence
  - Evaluation requires more than description: An analysis w88 online live casino relevant data and recommendations is critical
  - Remain focused on the performance of the w88 online live casino member and not be generous to w88 online live casino members based on the fact that they are new w88 online live casino or beginners
  It is expected that the w88 online live casino will exercise appropriate standards when completing its evaluations of its faculty. Faculty should be evaluated fairly and consistently, based solely on their performance during the calendar year. The evaluation ratings of two faculty members whose performance is similar should be equivalent. Likewise, the ratings of two faculty members whose performances are highly variable should be different. Supervisors (chairs, directors, deans, VPs) should be able to defend their relative evaluations of faculty using documented evidence of their performance.
Tenure and/or promotion committees
A tenure and/or promotion committee shall be formed, as needed, that consists of all faculty at or above the rank to which a given faculty member is applying for tenure and/or promotion. This committee shall assist the chair in matters concerning tenure and/or promotion to associate or full professor as specified in the department w88 online live casino. In the event that there are fewer than three eligible faculty to serve on a tenure and/or promotion committee, the department will, in consultation with other senior faculty members, recommend to the dean several senior faculty members at the university who have teaching and research experience in a related discipline, from which the dean shall select one or more senior faculty member(s) to achieve the required minimum number of senior faculty members to serve on the Committee. See 11.E. and 11.F. for voting rights regarding tenure and promotion.
