RTPC Evaluation Questions

 Print and ask these questions during your meetings. 

Keeping the principles of non-discrimination and employment equity in mind and recognizing that individual professional profiles may reflect equity-based considerations, you will be required to indicate whether the committee used the following considerations in its evaluation of the applicant.

1. Whether the applicant’s work included alternative or non-traditional types of scholarship. (e.g. community-engaged scholarship, policy  papers, preservation of marginalized knowledge and tradition).

2. Whether the applicant utilized alternative methods of disseminating research and/or creative work. (e.g., contribution to non-traditional journals, media, exhibitions).

3. Whether equity considerations resulted in a higher than normal contribution by the applicant to a record of professional, University or community service (if service is applicable).

4. Whether the applicant was granted a leave from work for any period of time for equity related reasons. (e.g. family responsibility, accommodation for disability, bereavement, maternity).

5. Whether the committee considered equity issues raised by the applicant during any stage of the evaluation process.

6. Did the applicant request to have an Aboriginal person act as a participant on the committee as allowed by Appendix O (Article 30.2.2 and Article 31.2.2)?

7. Did the committee adequately reflect the composition of the department as required by Article 30.2.3 and Article 31.2.3?
