Faculty Evaluation & Awards

Faculty evaluation and awards, as part of overall personnel performance appraisal, have 100% coverage; the appraisal is divided into two main categories: faculty and staff. The faculty portion is based on the "Faculty Performance and Competency Evaluation Regulations," under which each college may customize evaluation items and weightings as needed, provided that none of the teaching, research, counseling, or service components fall below 30%. Faculty ranked in the bottom 5% of each unit's evaluation results must be submitted to the University Faculty Evaluation Committee for further review. Approval requires attendance by at least two-thirds of committee members and approval from at least half of those present; otherwise the evaluation is deemed not passed. For faculty who do not pass, in addition to guidance measures established by each college, the faculty member must submit an improvement plan; failing to pass three consecutive times may result in non-renewal of contract. The university also implements a time-limited promotion system and a dual-track faculty evaluation mechanism, which has been of considerable benefit in improving the quality of faculty teaching, research, counseling, and service.

Staff Performance Evaluation

Regarding staff performance evaluation, the process is based on the "Staff Performance Evaluation Regulations." Each June, the Human Resources Office distributes the evaluation roster to relevant department heads for assessment, and the review results are submitted to the President for approval. Evaluation results are communicated to the staff members concerned; only staff who receive a rating of Grade A or above may advance one salary grade and receive a fixed performance bonus. A score below 75 is considered a failing evaluation. Staff ranked in the bottom 3% or scoring below 75 points, after review and approval by the President via the Human Resources Office, receive a notice requiring improvement; the staff member must submit an improvement plan and receive guidance from their direct supervisor. In 2024AY, 1 staff member did not pass the evaluation and has since submitted an improvement plan. Regarding staff promotion and rotation, based on the "Staff Promotion and Transfer Regulations," unit supervisors nominate candidates and submit their personal qualifications; the Human Resources Office compiles the most recent three consecutive years of performance evaluations for review and approval before arranging promotion examinations. Outstanding performers may be selected under the "Outstanding Administrative Staff Award Regulations" to receive a plaque along with a cash award of NT$50,000.
