Lecturers are teaching-focused faculty members who are not on the tenure-track system. They teach over 30% of credit hours at the UC, and up to 60% on some campuses.
The vast majority of UC lecturers are on 1-year or shorter contracts, at the end of which they have to re-apply for their jobs, with no guarantee that they will be given proper consideration.
