Summer Lecturerships (adopted April 12, 1996)
By a unanimous vote of 13 (Y) to 0 (N) with no Abstentions, the Department adopted the following policy with regard to summer lecturerships:
1. We institute a clear, strong rule that individuals are eligible to teach only one course per summer, except under exceptional circumstances.
2. We instruct the hiring committee to prepare an alternate list, but we do not require the committee to rank all applicants.
3. If an alternate has already been assigned a course, then that person is ineligible for a second course, except under exceptional circumstances.
The purpose of this policy is to endorse the "share the wealth" principle to the greatest possible extent without compromising the commitment to select the most qualified applicants to teach the courses.
