III. Waiver of Access Chapter 317 Oregon Laws 1975 (ORS 351.065) provides that a faculty member shall not be denied full access to his or her personnel file or records kept by the State Board of Higher Education or its institutions, schools, or departments. Oregon Administrative Rule (580-22-075) states that "when evaluating employed faculty members, the Board, its institutions, schools, or departments shall not solicit nor accept letters, documents, or other materials, given orally or in written form, from individuals or groups who wish their identity kept anonymous or the information they provide kept confidential, except for student evaluations made or received pursuant to Rule 580-22-100(5)." All faculty members, therefore, have a right to view any reviewer's evaluations submitted in connection with the faculty member's proposed promotion and tenure. Some faculty prefer to waive the right to review evaluation materials requested from on-campus and off-campus reviewers. You may execute the waiver below, if you choose to do so. However, it is not required, and all faculty are entitled to and will receive full and fair evaluation of dossier materials submitted in support of promotion and tenure, including evaluations, whether submitted confidentially or not. You will retain your right of access to written evaluations prepared by your department, college, dean, and the Provost and Executive Vice President, although the confidentiality and identity of other reviewers referred to in these evaluations will be maintained. WAIVER OF ACCESS TO SUBMITTED EVALUATION MATERIALS FROM REVIEWERS I hereby waive, in advance, my legal right of access to see the evaluation materials requested from and submitted by reviewers both from within the University and external to it in conjunction with my 2010-2011 dossier prepared in support of promotion and/or tenure. This includes individual student letters solicited by the department, although I retain my right of access to the summary letter written by the student committee. I understand I will retain my right of access to written evaluations prepared by my department chair or head, the personnel committee of my department and college, my dean, and the Provost and Executive Vice President. I make this waiver with full knowledge of my legal rights under Oregon law as outlined above. This waiver may be submitted to proposed reviewers. ____________________________ _____________ Signature Date

IV. Position Description Position Description for Peter Ruggiero, Assistant Professor (Senior Research) The duties of an Assistant Professor (Senior Research) in the Department of Geosciences in the College of Science include research and optional teaching and service. Teaching, Advising, and Other Assigned Duties (15%) Teaching activities include classroom instruction, direction of projects, student research, and internships, serving on graduate committees, course and curriculum development, and interacting with students in more informal settings. All faculty may mentor and advise students on their development, including the choices they face relating to academic program, research projects and career direction. Teaching duties and commitment may be variable from year to year with negotiated compensation consistent with departmental policies. Dr. Ruggiero’s teaching duties will include the delivery of one course per year so long as the COS continues the compensation package outlined in his original offer letter. The identity of that course will be determined after discussion with the chair and faculty of the Department of Geosciences. Research and Scholarship (85%) Assistant professors are expected to begin to develop a program of research characterized by distinction as evidenced by national and international recognition, by significant contributions to the field, and by external funding of a comprehensive research program. Research activities are expected to result in publications that advance the knowledge and understanding of the earth. Results of research should be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and books appropriate for the discipline, as well as in presentations at national and international scientific meetings. Assistant professors are expected to put forth a competent and professional effort to obtain external funding for their research programs and those of their students. Service (<5%) In addition to these responsibilities, all assistant professors are expected to adhere to College and University policies, to be collegial members of the Department. There are no specific service duties required for research faculty. However, such service contributes to the effectiveness of the Department, the College, the University and the profession and should be recognized and supported. This includes participation on committees at all levels, and in the professional review and editing process that is critical to the functioning of the profession. In addition, they are expected to assist in efforts to make their research results available and accessible to the public.
