摘要:The evaluation of university teaching staff has advanced notably since the approval and development of the LOU (Law of Universities). In this paper we present a critical panorama of the complex system of evaluation, with special attention to research and to the academic fi elds of Economics and Law. Furthermore, improvements are suggested for increasing the effi ciency and transparency of the system. The evaluation of faculty members is fundamental for improving the quality of the Spanish University System. It is also pertinent for making distinctions among members of the community, in an approach towards horizontal promotion through productivity measurements. While this is a polemic topic in the public sector, it is not insurmountable. Data reveal that after the evaluations of the initial years, a serious refl ection has begun for improving the system. Specifi cally, there are suggestions for reducing ‘red tape’ and increasing the transparency and neutrality of the system.
