Re: Issuance of Revised UC Academic Personnel Policy Manual (APM) 285 – Professor of Teaching Series (formerly Lecturer with Security of Employment Series)
Dear Colleagues:
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Newman has issued the revised Academic Personnel Manual (APM) 285, effective May 1, 2024. The revised policy is available online at https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/apm/apm-285.pdf.
The following revisions were made to APM 285:
- Change in title for the “Lecturer with Security of Employment” (LSOE) title series to “Professor of Teaching.” The revised title includes the following transitions at each rank:
- Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment = Assistant Professor of Teaching
- Lecturer with Security of Employment = Associate Professor of Teaching
- Senior Lecturer with Security of Employment = Professor of Teaching
- Removal of Appendix A, the provisions of which have now expired.
Based on campus feedback, UC Santa Cruz will retain the working title “Teaching Professor” for the series. This working title will be reflected in our Campus Academic Personnel Manual (CAPM) policies and the DivData system. Technical conforming changes to CAPM are forthcoming.
Sincerely,
Lori Kletzer
Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
