Instructions for Deans and Chairs

Tenure Track Faculty Evaluation

The Performance Management System (MyTalent.ku.edu) will be used to store and track faculty evaluations.

Chairs and Deans will still complete faculty evaluations using established paper documents, but will use the Performance Management System to upload the evaluation and send to the faculty member for acknowledgement.

When the evaluation form is ready for you, as the supervisor, to complete, you will receive an email. [View Screenshot]When the evaluation form is ready for you, as the supervisor, to complete, you will receive an email.
