| Pipeline Draft | Stage 2 Draft |
Who does this apply to? Faculty
How is this policy being revised? In the current policy, a PIP (professional improvement plan) may be appealed (see
Section 5.3 “PIP Appeal Timeline”). However, the policy does not indicate that a NOIN
(notice of improvement needed) is also appealable. Therefore, the following limited
scope revisions have been made:
- Change 5.3 to read “NOIN and PIP Appeal Timeline”
- Just before PIP, add “NOIN or a” to sections 5.3.1, 5.3.2, 5.3.4, and 5.3.5
Note: A NOIN is a nonsanction type of feedback regarding a minor or first-time performance issue that includes a plan developed by a faculty member and their supervisor.
Now that this policy is in Stage 1, what does this mean for me? You may now submit comments to your elected senator or to the policy steward. Stage 2 ends March 6, 2026. Please keep in mind that only the indicated revisions are open for comment.
