POLICY
803.03 EMPLOYMENT OF FULL-TIME LECTURERS
To carry out special instructional functions such as basic skills instruction, universities may appoint instructional staff members to the position of lecturer. Lecturers are not eligible for the award of tenure. Reappointment of a lecturer who has completed six consecutive years of service to an institution will be permitted only if the lecturer has demonstrated exceptional teaching ability and extraordinary value to the institution. The reappointment process must follow procedures outlined by the Chancellor. Not more than 10% of an institution's FTE corps of primarily undergraduate instruction may be lecturers and/or senior lecturers (BR Minutes, 1992- 93, p. 188).
803.0301 SENIOR LECTURERS
The title of senior lecturer may be used at the discretion of the universities that employ lecturers. Universities are discouraged from initial hiring at the senior lecturer level. Lecturers who have served for a period of at least six years at the employing university may be considered for promotion to senior lecturer if the university has adopted this title and has clearly stated promotion criteria. Promotion to senior lecturer requires approval by the president and must be reported as a matter of information to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academics and Fiscal Affairs when promotions for ranked faculty are transmitted to the University System Office. Reappointment procedures for senior lecturers follow the same reappointment procedures as those for lecturers. Senior lecturers are not eligible for the award of tenure (BR Minutes, 2002-03, p. ___).
