Impact of Professional Disruptions Statement

The Impact of Professional Disruptions Statement replaced the former COVID-19 Professional Impact Statement effective April 2025.

An Impact of Professional Disruptions Statement is an optional statement that faculty may include in any of their faculty review materials to briefly document the effects that the relevant professional disruption has directly had on faculty workload and professional opportunities and the resulting impact on faculty productivity, performance, and trajectory. This two-page statement can be shared with faculty review committees to contextualize the faculty member’s performance and contributions. The Statement may be included for all types of faculty review including Annual, Mid-Probationary, Promotion and Tenure, and Comprehensive Periodic Review.

For additional information, consult Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty General Guidelines or Professional-Track Faculty General Guidelines for the relevant year 2025-26 or after at EVPP: Promotion & Tenure.
