coe-fac: COE Merit Policy OtP Review

[Dianna Carrizales-Engelmann]

Dear COE Faculty,

The Office of the Provost has completed its review of college level merit policies to ensure alignment with current CBA language and expectations. We have been notified that the COE Merit policy has been reviewed with minor edits.

Merit policies have been updated by the Office of the Provost to align with the most current CBA. Most current merit policies reference your promotion and review standards for "not meeting expectations," "meeting expectations," and "exceeding expectations." Under the 2025 CBA, units are no longer to include an explicit standard for "exceeding expectations."
To align with the CBA, we have made minor edits to your merit policies (see links at the bottom of this email). These edits do not change your process or criteria; they simply replace the phrase "exceeding expectations" with "performing substantially beyond expectations."

A tracked-changes version of the policy is attached. Given that these are required changes (by OtP in alignment with the CBA), this policy will not require a COE faculty vote. However, this does provide an opportunity for a re-review of the policy for awareness.

Comment is not required, however, if you have comments or observations based on your review of the policy edits, feel free to share any insights via survey here<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4JAUpugbhdkWk2W>. Depending on the nature of the feedback we receive we can determine the need and timeline for additional edits.

Survey link again here: Survey<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4JAUpugbhdkWk2W>.

Best,
Dianna
