Implicit bias can influence faculty evaluation outcomes. The Office of the Provost strongly encourages FEC members, FEC Chairs, Department Chairs/Directors, and Deans to explore the resources below and actively work to create awareness about implicit bias in the context of faculty evaluation. 

UM's Student Evaluation Committee (SEC) process occurs outside the Interfolio system. As such, there are specific instructions for Uploading SEC Recommendations. These instructions only apply to this step. FEC, Chairperson, and Dean recommendations follow the steps outlined in the Uploading Required Committee Documents section.

1. Navigate to the Cases page from the navigation menu on the left. 
2. Click the hyperlinked Name of the desired candidate to navigate to the candidate's case. 
3. On the Case Materials tab, scroll down to SEC Recommendation under Internal Sections. 
4. Select Add File, in the SEC Recommendation internal section.  
5. Drag and Drop or Browse to Upload the file you wish to upload and click Save to complete.

If a Unit Administrator or Case Manager has set document requirements for a case review step, all required documents must be met before the case can move forward to the next step. A committee document requirement can only be satisfied by the committee manager. Committees can see all documents added to the case at their step or below unless visibility settings are changed. Therefore, committees at the same step can view each other's documents. 

1. Navigate to the Cases page from the navigation menu on the left. 
2. Click the hyperlinked Name of the desired candidate to navigate to the candidate’s case. 
3. On the Case Details tab, select + Add in the Required Items section next to the corresponding required document. 
4. Drag or drop the file into the Upload a new file section or select Browse to Upload.
5. Click + Add to complete.

Troubleshooting Required Committee Documents

1. If a document was first uploaded to an Internal Section under the Case Materials tab, you can search for the file under Select file from case. 
   • If a name does not appear, type the Name of the document in the search bar.
2. Click + Add to complete. 
3. Once successfully uploaded, all required items should say Complete and the case is ready to advance to the next step.

Note: If you encounter any issues while uploading, you may need to compress files if you receive an error message. Ensure that the file types you upload are compatible according to the

Committee Managers can fill out and submit a form as part of a case and, if necessary, resubmit a form they have previously submitted. A form can be saved before all required questions are completed and can be made editable again by the original respondent. 

1. Navigate to the Cases page from the navigation menu on the left. 
2. Click the hyperlinked Name of the desired candidate to navigate to the candidate’s case. 
3. On the Case Details tab, select Fill Out Form in the Required Items section. 
4. Answer all the questions in the form and click Submit Form when finished. 
5. Once completed, the form requirement will be labeled Complete. A green check mark indicates completion, while a red exclamation mark indicates an incomplete form. You must address any forms with red exclamations or no marks. 

Note: The Required Items will say Complete when the required document has been uploaded, even though the required form has not been satisfied. 

If responses require management, click Manage Respondents next to the desired form to view responses. If necessary, assigned Committee Managers can make changes using the Edit Submission button.
