Article 19: Personnel Files

19.1 Each unit within The City University shall maintain two personnel files for each employee.

19.2 There shall be a personal file which shall include but not be limited to the following:

(a) Personnel information;

(b) Information relating to the employee’s academic and professional accomplishments submitted by the employee or placed in the file at his or her request;

(c) Records generated by the college;

(d) Memoranda of discussions with the employee relating to evaluations of the employee’s professional performance;

(e) Observation reports of the employee’s academic and professional performance.

No materials shall be placed in the employee’s file until the employee has been given the opportunity to read the contents and attach any comments he or she may so desire. Each such document shall be initialed by the employee before being placed in his or her file as evidence of his or her having read such document. This initialing shall not be deemed to constitute approval by the employee of the contents of such document. If the employee refuses to initial any document after having been given an opportunity to read the same, a statement to that effect shall be affixed to the document.

(f) Each non‑tenured and non‑certificated full‑time member of the instructional staff should examine and initial his/her personal file prior to the end of each academic year. Such member should promptly report to the individual keeping the files any documents which he/she wishes to be included in the file and should furnish any such document not in the possession of the college.

Each year, each tenured and certificated full‑time member of the instructional staff should examine and initial his/her personal file prior to the end of the fall semester. Such member should promptly report to the individual keeping the files any documents which he/she wishes to be included in the file and should furnish any such document not in the possession of the college.

The employee’s personal file shall be available for examination by the employee at his or her request.

19.3 There shall be a separate administration file which shall contain only such materials requested by the unit of The City University or supplied by the employee in connection with the employee’s employment, promotion or tenure.

The administration file shall be available only to the committee and individuals responsible for the review and recommendation of the employee with respect to appointment, reappointment, promotion or tenure.
