The administrator then makes teaching assignments to Continuing Sessional Lecturers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (reference Article 24.06). In making assignments to Continuing Sessional Lecturers the administrator: (i) takes into account what the Continuing Sessional Lecturer has previously taught satisfactorily (ii) takes reasonable steps to offer to the Continuing Sessional Lecturer, over the course of the assignment year, his or her academic unit allocation calculated under the terms of the agreement. 13.01 (b) After making the determinations in (a) the administrator may directly appoint a Term Sessional Lecturer to the courses(s) they have satisfactorily taught at least once a year in three (3) of the last four (4) years or post those teaching assignments. The administrator will ensure that the decision to post is not arbitrary, discriminatory or made in bad faith. If the Term Sessional Lecturer has satisfactorily taught a course at least once a year in three (3) of the last four (4) years and is not directly appointed to the course, the Administrator will advise them in writing of the reason for this decision.
