Dear Colleagues:

Re:

The four year limitation of service at more than 50% time in any combination of service in the Visiting Lecturer, Adjunct Lecturer, Visiting Senior Lecturer, and Adjunct Senior Lecturer titles is rescinded. The attached guidelines are effective immediately.

The guidelines provide that University service at more than 50% time in any combination of the temporary lecturer titles is limited to a maximum of eight years.

The policy has been reviewed extensively by the campuses, the Academic Senate, appropriate Systemwide offices, and employee organizations.

Inserts for the Academic Personnel Manual will be distributed soon.

Sincerely,
