<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Lecturer Representative has traditionally been a two-year term, and we have tried to stagger the voting procedure so that only one representative position of the two is open each year. This year Julie Brett's position is open.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal>As you know, the primary duties for this position include working as a liaison between lecturers and administration, meeting with the Writing Program Committee of the University Writing Program to assist in programmatic decision making, visiting and observing classes, assisting in the preparation of post-six personnel files, writing overall evaluations for personnel files, evaluating personnel files for both quarterly and continuing appointments, and (now) assisting in the WASC review process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Representatives also poll fellow lecturers, discuss potential problematic issues in the relationship between administration and lecturers, and attempt to ameliorate and solve problems with the Director of the UWP.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Because of the hard work (and potential grievance) of Sandy Barringer, Julie Brett, Ben Harder, Stephanie Kay, Linda Strahan, and Keith Vance, the two lecturer rep positions (as of this year) now have a stipend equivalent to ½ a course release. This was an important victory for the recognition of labor.</P>
