NON-TENURE TRACK POSITIONS: LECTURER AND VISITING PROFESSOR	No. 8-2	Rev. 05-13-03
		Date 11-12-80

OLD VERSION

POLICY

The title of lecturer, visiting instructor or visiting professor may be bestowed upon persons employed to teach and/or to conduct research and/or to render any other professional service for a term of one or more semesters. Lecturers and visiting professors are employed without tenure and at whatever salary may be agreed upon by negotiation between the appointee and the appropriate University officials.  A visiting professor may be given a title containing an academic rank (assistant, associate, full) provided the additional title of "visiting" precedes the designation of rank.  Such establishment of rank has no significance for the achieving or holding of rank if the person should apply for a tenure track position. At the discretion of the department and the college Ranking Tenure Evaluation Committee, up to two years in full-time, non-tenure track positions at Weber State University may be applied toward the probationary period for increment in rank should the person shift from a non-tenure track appointment to a tenure track appointment.
