%FACULTY EVALUATION 780310
Objective considerations dominate the evaluation of
faculty members within the educational institutions of an
objectively oriented society. Capitalistic societies that
are strongly focused upon possessions in the objective
realm---are such objectively oriented societies. The same
is true of socialistic societies that compete in th
objective realm of capitalistic societies. So long as the
focus is upon possessions in the material realm the
society is going to be objectively oriented---and
objective considerations will dominate the evaluation of
faculty members within the educational institutions.
Within such objective societies the objective
considerations will tend to dominate to the exclusion of
subjective considerations---because subjective values are
either not recognized, or are judged of no value according
to objective criteria. Subjective considerations may also
be excluded on methodological grounds---according to the
view that they are unreliable and tend to open the door to
biased subjectivity. According to such a view objectivity
by it's nature tends to help humans transcend biases, and
subjectivity tends to provide avenues for the expression
of human biases. People with this view tend not to
recognize that objective conclusions are not value
judgments; that value judgments of their nature exist
outside the domain of objective activities.
Faculty evaluation cannot be an objective procedure
because making value judgments cannot be an objective
procedure. Evaluation involves making value judgments---
political decisions regarding priorities, affirming some
values at the expense of not affirming others as strongly
as might otherwise be the case.
When evaluation is reduced to objective procedures it
becomes an intellectual exercise in measuring the degree
of conformity of a person's behavior with objectively
defined standards of behavior---and promotes conformist
tendencies within the society. Conformist tendencies tend
to promote authoritarianism of a variety of forms---
including political dictatorships. Conformist tendencies
do not liberate people to fulfill their God-given talents
with free-will in love.
