Based on BoR policy (BoR Policy Manual 8.3.4.3), full-time lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers are appointed by the institution on a year-to-year-basis. Lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers who have served full-time for the entire previous academic year have the presumption of reappointment for the subsequent year unless notified in writing as follows.
- For lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers with less than three years of full-time continuous service to KSU, notification of non-reappointment is encouraged as soon as possible, but no specific notice is required.
- For lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers with three or more years but less than six years of full-time continuous service to KSU, notification of non-reappointment is at least 30 calendar days prior to the institution’s first day of classes of the semester.
- For lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers with six or more years of full-time continuous service to KSU, notification of non-reappointment is at least 180 calendar days prior to the institution’s first day of classes of the semester.
Based on BoR policy (BoR Policy Manual 8.3.4.3), lecturers, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers who have served for six or more years of full-time continuous service at KSU in those positions and received timely notice of non-reappointment shall be entitled to a review of the decision in accordance with the following published procedures developed by the institution. A lecturer, senior lecturer, or principal lecturer with six or more years of full-time service to the institution who is given notice of non-reappointment may opt to submit a letter appealing the non-reappointment. This letter must be addressed to the university-wide committee (current chairs of college P&T committees and two deans, see KSU Faculty Handbook Section 3.12). The letter must state the grounds for the appeal. The university-wide committee will convene after the appeal letter has been received. The University committee will respond to the grounds stated in the letter and may ask the administrator who provided written notice of the lecturer’s, senior lecturer’s or principal lecturer’s non-reappointment to write a letter to the university-wide committee addressing the grounds addressed in the lecturer’s, senior lecturer’s, or principal lecturer’s letter. A copy of the university committee’s recommendation and justification will be provided to the lecturer/senior lecturer/principal lecturer, the lecturer’s/senior lecturer’s/principal lecturer’s department chair and dean, and the Provost. A unit is justified when not reappointing a lecturer, senior lecturer, or principal lecturer for reason(s) of budgetary changes affecting the College and its units; a University committee cannot make a recommendation supporting a reversal of a notice of non-reappointment based on budgetary losses. Additionally, the university-wide committee only makes a recommendation. In cases where a lecturer, senior lecturer, or principal lecturer has requested a review by the university-wide committee, a final decision on a lecturer, senior lecturer or principal lecturer’s non-reappointment is made by the President, in consultation with the Provost.
