Background & Definitions  \n1.1 Definition of Lecturer  \nThe Lecturer faculty track includes the ranks of Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Principal Lecturer. These are non-tenure-track, primarily instructional positions and are part of the University of Georgia’s Corps of Instruction.  \nThe primary responsibility of the Lecturer track is classroom instruction, and the appointment typically carries a 18-24 credit hour per academic year course load.  \n1.2 Roles of Lecturers  \nLecturers’ primary responsibility is instruction and, therefore, the overwhelming majority of Lecturers will spend most, if not all, of their time teaching. Hence, Lecturers are not expected to have research or administrative responsibilities. The appointment and promotion of Lecturers atthe University of Georgia are based upon this norm. Any exception to this norm (e.g., academic advising, curriculum or course development, academic program management, research, service) must be detailed in the letter of hire or reappointment.  \n2. Requirements for Ranks  \nTo be eligible for a Lecturer appointment at any rank, a person must have an appropriate terminal degree in a discipline related to the position’s responsibilities, or, in rare circumstances, be approved by the Provost’s Office, on the basis of the individual’s overall qualifications, for a terminal degree exception before the position is offered.  \nLecturer  \nThis is an entry-level faculty position. Individuals eligible for appointment to this rank should possess clear potential for delivering quality instruction.  \nSenior Lecturer  \nCandidates for appointment or promotion to this rank must have six years of experience at the Lecturer level (or equivalent), either at UGA or another institution. Evidence of effectiveness in instruction, including evidence of student learning or positive student outcomes, must be demonstrated.  \nPrincipal Lecturer  \nCandidates for appointment or promotion to this rank must have six years of experience at the Senior Lecturer level (or equivalent) . Evidence of creating and/or adopting effective instructional practices, or a positive instructional impact beyond instructional settings, such as dissemination of instructional innovation or participation in special teaching activities must be demonstrated.  \n3. Appointment/Promotion Unit and Eligible Voting Faculty  \nLecturers may be appointed in a variety of academic units, including but not limited to departments, schools, colleges, or institutes. If the unit in which the position is located has  \ninsufficient eligible voting faculty (normally fewer than five), then the unit head should recruit faculty from related units to serve as an ad hoc appointment or promotion unit. If the position will reside in or have a significant relationship with more than one unit, then a combined unit faculty should act as the eligible voting faculty and the heads of all units involved should provide input into the search, appointment, or promotion processes. In such cases, one unit should be chosen as the administrative unit for the purposes of coord","cbCaipgNclm77B2A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipgNclm77B2A","pdf",995346,23,"English","# Guidelines for Appointment and Promotion of Lecturers\n## Background & Definitions\n## Requirements for Ranks\n## Appointment/Promotion Unit and Eligible Voting Faculty\n## Appointment Procedures","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary role of lecturers under these guidelines?\",\"answer\":\"Lecturers’ primary responsibility is instruction, and most lecturers are expected to spend nearly all of their time teaching.
