Development of a Personalized Quantitative Faculty Annual Evaluation System

Faculty annual evaluation is critical for faculty career development and department success. Our department developed a quantitative faculty evaluation metrics system that is more objective, consistent, flexible, personalized, transparent, and dynamic scoring system. We have implemented the system for 2 years and the outcomes are very encouraging in promoting faculty and department success.Cockrell School of Engineerin

5-Carb­oxy-2-isopropyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-4-carboxyl­ate monohydrate

In the title compound, C8H10N2O4·H2O, the imidazole N atom is protonated and one of the carboxyl­ate groups is deprotoned, forming a zwitterion. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to (10)
