3.10.1.B - Faculty Performance Expectations for the Non-Tenure Track Lecturer Faculty Ranks

According to USG policy, reappointment of a lecturer who has completed six consecutive years of service to an institution will be permitted only if the lecturer has demonstrated exceptional teaching ability and extraordinary value to the institution and if the institution determines that there is a continued need for the lecturer (BoR Policy Manual 8.3.8.2). According to USG policy, reappointment procedures for senior lecturers and principal lecturers follow the same reappointment procedures as those for lecturers (BoR Policy Manual 8.3.8.3). At Kennesaw State University, a positive annual review will serve as documentation to continue as a lecturer, senior lecturer or principal lecturer based on exceptional teaching ability and extraordinary value to the institution.

Reappointment of lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers and promotion of lecturers to senior lecturers or principal lecturers are dependent on their performance in instruction and service as outlined in the FPA and on the programmatic needs and financial exigencies of the University and its units.

Annual reviews must be conducted for lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers according to the schedule found in Section 3.12 of the KSU Faculty Handbook.
