I noticed that quite a few of the respondents did not list what institution they were at and it was not possible to guess from their e-mail addresses. It would be helpful if the respondents would identify what institution they are at and whether it is a public or private institution. I think that would help put things into perspective. I am not the language lab director here at the University of Hawaii and we have not had a permanent lab director since our former director retired in 1995. I think the University of Hawaii is unique in that it has a category called APT (Administrative, Professional and Technical). Our former director was in this category (I am as well) and although he came from the faculty ranks was not considered faculty when he became the lab director. He did not have any teaching load. He had equal status with a department chairman. The university has a 2 year language requirement for graduation of all majors except engineering who managed to exempt their students from the requirement.
