Common use of Lecturer III Clause in Contracts

Lecturer III. a. A Lecturer II who has been appointed as a Lecturer II on a three-quarter (3/4) or greater basis for ten (10) successive semesters (defined as the fall and spring semesters of an academic year) and who has been favorably evaluated as described in Article 11 (Evaluation) may apply for promotion to Lecturer III, and if approved by the ▇▇▇▇ through evaluation as identified in Article 11(D), shall be promoted to Lecturer III. b. A Lecturer II, who has been unfavorably evaluated during her or his tenth successive semester as described in Article 11 (Evaluation) or who has had her or his promotion application denied, may, at the unit’s discretion, continue as a Lecturer II. Individuals who were denied promotion to Lecturer III shall be eligible for promotion reapplication after four (4) successive semesters after the promotion denial. The Employee shall bear the burden of reapplying for promotion to Lecturer III. c. If the Employee is a Lecturer II and the unit does not conduct a required evaluation as described in Article 11 (Evaluation), and if the Lecturer II Employee is nevertheless subsequently appointed following her or his tenth (or fourteenth) successive semester as a Lecturer II of three quarter-time (3/4) or greater appointment, the Employee will be appointed as a Lecturer III with a three (3) year appointment. d. Successful completion of the evaluation process and promotion to Lecturer III shall result in an initial appointment no less than three (3) years; at the discretion of the Department and with the approval of the ▇▇▇▇, a Lecturer III may be appointed to an initial appointment of four (4) years. Subsequent to an Employee’s initial appointment as a Lecturer III, Lecturer III reappointments shall be for a period of four (4) years. e. A Lecturer III appointment carries a presumption of renewal (at no less than the Employee’s level of employment during the academic year most closely prior to the reappointment), except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement. Appointments will be effective the first day of the subsequent semester, at no less than the lowest level of appointment the Employee held in any one of the previous successive semesters used to qualify for the promotion excluding semesters in which the Employee was under involuntary layoff.
