ABSTRACT
Institutions of higher education with tenure and promotion policies that rely heavily on student evaluations of teaching may create academic progression barriers for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) faculty. The purpose of this policy analysis is to explore how current practice of utilizing Student Evaluation of Teaching (SETs) as the major source to evaluate teaching effectiveness, impacts tenure for BIPOC faculty, using Bardach and Patashnik's (2019) eight steps of policy analysis. Context provided includes cultural history, policy and evidence regarding the use of SETs. Evaluation criteria focuses on two national nursing reports and nursing accreditation standards, along with utilization of the 2020 Teaching Quality Framework for Evaluation of Teaching. The status quo utilizes SETs as the major evaluation tool for overall teaching effectiveness. SETs are shown to produce an unacceptably high error rate and fail to identify the best teachers. Teaching evaluations that utilize both formative and summative methods provide a global, less biased view of instructional pedagogy. Making a change in the way teaching is evaluated is a critical component in the retention of BIPOC Faculty and their ability to attain tenure.
