Key policy revisions: The Lecturer with Security of Employment series is used for appointees whose primary responsibilities are teaching and teaching-related tasks. Secondary required responsibilities include professional and/or scholarly activities, including creative activities, especially as they relate to instruction and pedagogy, and University and public service. The series name of "Lecturer with Security of Employment Series" is retained. The current titles will be retained with the ability to use a campuswide working title at campus discretion in accordance with APM - 285-8-f. Clarifies that the Chancellor, in consultation with the Academic Senate, may establish a limit to the number of faculty hired into this series at the campus, school, or departmental level. Revisions to review criteria include new language on "teaching excellence" that updates language on teaching expectations and to add specific criteria for review; revised language on "professional and/or scholarly achievement and activity" offers more specificity in the activities that would fit into this category; and "creative activities" are now acknowledged as appropriate contributions. Revisions to APM - 740 offer sabbatical to LSOE faculty so that they may engage in intensive programs of study in order to be more effective teachers and scholars, with the goal of enhancing their teaching and scholarly responsibilities. Regents' Standing Order 105.1 was revised September 27, 2018 to extend Academic Senate membership to all LSOE appointees regardless of their percentage of appointment. Revised APM - 285 extends Senate membership to titles in the LSOE series. See the October 1, 2018 issuance letter (pdf) for additional details. |
