Dear Audry and fellow colleagues, I have a similar concern and would truly appreciate any feedback you may have to offer. I have recently become intern Director for our Language Resource Center (due to previous Director's retirement) and at this point the position is 50% LRC Director, 50% teaching. The person who previously held the position did not have a PhD, and it was not a requirement. The situation becomes complicated since I do have a Phd in Spanish, and am in a tenure track position. This is totally new for our institute and college and we are not sure how this is going to affect tenure requirements, teaching loads, etc. Also, I feel this position should at least be a 66% LRC, 33% teaching since the LRC requires more attention than it has been gotten the past and with just 20 hours a week, it seems almost impossible to run adequately. (We are a modern language department with 20 faculty members.) Does anyone have a LRC Director that is less than 100%? Again, like Audry, I am interested in knowing the arrangements for teaching, tenure and director responsibilities. I would also like to know salary differences between Director and professor positions. Thank you for your input, Jean Jean M.
