Section 3.3  Professional Assessment Committee                
     Each academic department shall have a professional
      assessment committee consisting of the tenured members
      of the departmental faculty.  Any PAC member who is a
      candidate for promotion shall be excluded from committee
      deliberation on his or her candidacy.  The department
      head shall not be a member of the Professional
      Assessment Committee.  However, after the Professional
      Assessment Committee has made its report, either the
      department head or the Professional Assessment Committee
      shall have the right to call a meeting of the department
      head and the Professional Assessment Committee to
      discuss the report.
     Subdivision 3.31  Assessment Procedures                             
     The committee shall develop written assessment
      procedures which are not inconsistent with the
      provisions of this Article and which are subject to the
      approval of the department head and the dean of the
      college.  These procedures may be amended by the
      Professional Assessment Committee with the approval of
      the department head and the dean.  The procedures may
      include delegation of responsibility for conducting
      assessments to a subcommittee, and shall provide for
      addition of members from outside the department whenever
      the membership falls below three (3) or whenever the
      Professional Assessment Committee decides to do so.
     Subdivision 3.32  Assessment
     At the request of the department head or as required by
      official university policy, the committee shall provide
      assessment of the teaching, research, and professional
      service of a faculty member.
     Subdivision 3.33  Committee Report
     A written report of the collective judgments of the
      committee, together with any concurring or minority
      reports, shall be transmitted to the faculty member, the
      department head, and the dean, and shall be entered in
      the evaluation file no later than December 1.
