No. 14 Three-level evaluation presented By TOM DULAN A three-level faculty evaluation plan, which would usually include student input, was presented to the faculty senate last week by Madison College President Ronald Carri*. The three levels Carrier outlined are: a standard evaluation, in which evaluations by students are optional additions to those made by department heads; an official evaluation, in which student evaluations complement those made by department heads; and an exhaustive evaluation, which includes department head, student and colleague evaluations. The latter type of evaluation is made on oc- casion of eligibility for tenure or promotion. The standard evaluation becomes a matter of departmental record only, A BIKE-A-THON CYCLIST pedals for the American Cancer Society.
