Description: Lecturer is the appropriate rank for all temporary faculty, e.g., 1) certain visiting faculty, 2) faculty of experimental and special programs and, 3) faculty on contingency contracts. Appointments are for no longer than one year; notice of non- reappointment is not required and should be clearly stated on the contract. In special circumstances, and with appropriate justification, appointments may be renewed; in these instances prior approval of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs must be obtained.
The rank of Lecturer is not used for persons on the permanent faculty who have expectations of progressing through the tenured faculty ranks.
