Upon the recommendation of the Academic Senate and the concurrence of the Provost, I approve the Lecturer Council, effectively immediately.

SCOPE

This policy applies to all unit 3 faculty who are designated as part-time or temporary faculty with any entitlement or time base.

The Lecturers' Council should meet at least twice a semester and report as appropriate to the Faculty and Students Policy Committee (FASP), the full Academic Senate and/or Senate Executive Committee on progress toward achieving the aforementioned goals and other appropriate goals and strategies for supporting lecturer faculty.
