Dear SHARE Region, 

As you begin to enter lecturer appointment requests on the Smartsheet, we wanted to clarify the entry process regarding steps/points and salaries. 

Since the salaries listed on the appointment letters are inclusive of the range adjustment, SHARE would like for departments to enter whatever is on the appointment letters onto the Smartsheet. We are uncertain of when the new IX salary scales for 2023-2024 will come out, but in the meantime: 

Dear SHARE Region,

We are getting ready to process Lecturer separations. In an effort to ensure that we do not end lecturer appointments that you intend to reappoint, we ask that you please take a few minutes to review the Lecturer End Date report and inform us what action is required for the appointment by completing column A.

Hello SHARE Region,

Thank you to those of you that met with us this last Wednesday for our Spring meeting. Below are some useful resources from our meeting.

• Here is the meeting recording of the Spring meeting on 4/19/2023
