With one-third of our full-time faculty currently in these temporary positions, the rule has greatly hindered the Journalism Program as we move toward the future. Rationale The Journalism Program needs greater stability among faculty. With the existing three-year limit, it has been difficult for both faculty and students to endure faculty searches that result in highly qualified people joining us, learning the ropes and, once fully up to speed, being required to leave. Overturning this artificial limit would allow such faculty to be more vital, contributing members of the department, college and university, allowing them to more fully participate in committee work and student advising, among other duties, in addition to teaching. For years, the bulk of academic and student media advising in our Journalism Program has fallen to only a few people, and it would help both students and faculty for us to be able to better spread that load. In fact, with all four of our permanent faculty on reassigned time (advisers of The Echo, Scroll and News6 and another directing public relations efforts in the CFAC deans office), those permanent faculty lines have not gone as far as the numbers suggest; hence the need for adjunct instructors to cover up to 10 classes per academic year. Journalism is a field that places a high value on professional experience if one has many years in the profession, he or she is not likely to have pursued a terminal degree. In fact, our current collective facultys extensive professional experience including nearly 70 years combined for the two people currently in the visiting lines is a major selling point for our program. In fact, many of the better journalism programs around the country, such as the University of Missouris, rely on Master's-level instructors with 20-30 years experience working in journalism or broadcasting. This professional working experience is what the elite programs are looking for in their journalism instructors because it is an invaluable asset that students can learn from before entering the workforce and benefit from in both seeking their first journalism jobs and, later, moving up in the profession. For at least the last four years, our departments position requests have included the conversion of one of these positions to a tenure-track line. Despite the fact that we have made a consistent effort to deal with this issue, for at least the last four years, those requests have been turned down. Since we now have two tenured associate professors, each with a doctorate; another tenure-track slot filled by an ABD; and our permanent lecturer is expected to finish his Ph.D. in the next year or so, we strongly believe these two positions should remain non-tenure-track. That would ensure a good balance between tenure and non-tenure lines while ensuring our continued emphasis on extensive professional experience. Since adding tenure lines has not, by and large, been the result some had hoped for when they worked to get this rule instituted, we would like to see a more middle-ground approach than the resulting draconian 3-and-out rule we are left to deal with. While we are also asking our department chair to again request the conversion of these lines to permanent positions, we respectfully ask that Senate forward to the Handbook Committee our request to allow departments/programs to reappoint Visiting Lecturers beyond the three-year limit. ,. ) 1 3 9 q)X]߻ߘ#hB*CJOJPJQJaJph""" hqhhB*PJph"""hP|;hB*PJph"""hP>h6hG#h6 hKhhh`h5hqh[UhLh`hL5,STcd ./gd -DM gd@&gd -DM gd&1h:p/ =!"#$%666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List PK![Content_Types].xmlj0 u$Nwc$ans@8JbVKS(.Y$8MVgLYS]"(U֎_o[gv; f>KH|;\XV!]օ Oȥsh]Hg3߶PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!\theme/theme/theme1.xmlYOoE#F{o'NDuر i-q;N3' G$$DAč*iEP~wq4;{o?g^;N:$BR64Mvsi-@R4Œ mUb V*XX! cyg$w.Q "@oWL8*Bycjđ0蠦r,[LC9VbX*x_yuoBL͐u_.
