Atlanta Journal Constitution: Georgia colleges can hire more lecturers
State raises cap to 20% of faculty to help schools deal with recession

Students at Georgia’s public colleges may have more lecturers teaching their classes this coming academic year under a change approved by the state Board of Regents.

The board changed its policy last month to raise the cap on lecturers from 10 percent to 20 percent of a college’s faculty. The amended rule allows all colleges to use lecturers, not just research institutions.
