Appraisal of Overall Performance

 		Meets All Position Requirements
Strong, consistent performance, working individually and with others. Quality and quantity of work produced are consistent, appropriate and timely. Performance may exceed some position requirements and generally meets all others.

 		Exceeds Position Requirements
Consistent performance at an exceptionally high level individually and with others. Produces a large quantity of high quality material in a timely manner. Performance clearly exceeds a majority of position requirements and meets standards for the remainder.

 		Fails to Meet Position Requirements
Performance fails to meet most position requirements. Quality and/or quantity of work produced is unacceptable. Performance must improve immediately and significantly. This rating results in no salary increase for the next contract period in which an increase is available. Employees with this rating are subject to nonreappointment, as outlined in the University Handbook C160.1-162.5 (faculty) and C170.1-172 (unclassified professional staff).

Faculty Member Comments:

* The rolling three-year average of performance is used to determine the level of increase to be awarded for the next contract period. Please note that numbers are used only for averaging and may not be presumed to equal percentage increase. Funding for possible salary increases is finalized each spring by the Kansas Legislature. In times of financial stress, no increases may be available.

Kansas State University Principles of Community

Kansas State University is a land-grant, public research university, committed to teaching and learning, research, and ser- vice to the people of Kansas, the nation, and the world. Our collective mission is best accomplished when every member of the university community acknowledges and practices the following principles:

We affirm the inherent dignity and value of every person and strive to maintain an atmosphere of justice based on respect
for each other.

We affirm the right of each person to freely express thoughts and opinions in a spirit of civility and decency. We believe that diversity of views enriches our learning environment and we promote open expression within a climate of courtesy, sensitivity, and mutual respect.

We affirm the value of human diversity for community. We confront and reject all forms of prejudice and discrimination, including those based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, economic status, or any other differences that have led to misunderstandings, hostility, and injustice.

We acknowledge that we are a part of the larger Kansas community and that we have an obligation to be engaged in a positive way with our civic partners.

We recognize our individual obligations to the university community and to the principles that sustain it. We will each strive to contribute to a positive spirit that affirms learning and growth for all members of the community.
