jaykimf,
This is something interesting from NYU.

Language lecturers are an integral component of language instruction at NYU. While the majority of language sections offered are taught by teaching assistants and instructors, language lecturers provide much needed coordination, continuity, and consistency in instruction.

Language lecturers are distinct from tenure track faculty in several ways: they are ineligible for tenure or sabbaticals; have no obligation to conduct research, although they are not precluded from doing so; and are required to hold only an M.A. degree.

Policies
Listed below are policies that are specific to language lecturer appointments.

Titles & Qualifications
Language Lecturer - M.A. and professional attainment in language instruction
Senior Language Lecturer - M.A. or Ph.D. and at least six years of professional attainment in language instruction.
Director of Language Instruction (administrative title)

Terms of Appointment
Annual term
Language lecturers are appointed for the academic year (September to May) and paid over twelve months (October 1 - September 1). Summer appointments are optional and are made with additional compensation.

Length

Language Lecturers - the initial appointment can be made for up to three years. One subsequent reappointment can be made for up to three years. Appointments in this rank can not be made for more than six years.

Senior Language Lecturers - the initial appointment can be made for up to three years. The subsequent reappointment(s) can be made for up to five years. There is no limit to the number of years that a senior language lecturer can be appointed.

How many hours did they teach? Full-time for a sessional professor is nine hours.
How many full-time, foreign professors teach nine hours?
Did the part-time professors that you are referring to earn their degrees from Korean universities? In Korea, are degrees from Korean universities valued the same as degrees from North American or some European universities?

See RR I am not comparing professors back home to intstructors here (well you seem bent on calling instructors here professors....).

The part time professors back home earned their degrees back home and have employment stability that never goes beyond a semester.


As for N-A degrees vs Korea degrees not they are not valued the same...in North Am that is.

Then again, North Am does not put much value on Japanese, Chinese, most Eastern European and many other nations degrees...whats your point there?



But, I have a question RR: for all your griping about pay scales of professors...are you even qualified to be a tenure professor?

a) PHD
b) Several publications in the field of research of your PHD
c) Several research grants in your field
d) Meaningful research
e) Fluent in Korean (as this is afterall Korea).

If not, then you have absolutely no claim to professorship or any of the things related to that position (pay, work conditions).

What you are doing (and have been doing forever now) is stiring the pot in your demented little world where you think you should be paid like a prof when in fact you are not a prof at all.

By the way RR, sorry to break this to you but NYU has nothing to do with any of the universities here as it is an american university.

Does the Korean government have authority to determine who should be called "Professor?" Is the Korean government wrong about the E-1 visa?

E-1 Status (Professors)
This category applies to foreigners who, as qualified individuals specified by the Educational Law, wish to instruct special fields of study or engage in the guidance of research at junior colleges or higher educational institutions, or the institutions corresponding to such levels.

* In the case of a national or a public University, a foreigner is not permitted to be a full-time professor.

Many Korean universities have full-time professors who don't have a PhD. So do many universities in Canada and the US, for that matter. My mother was professor for 30 years and she never bothered to complete her PhD.

FROZEN???

For who?

First year was starting at 2 million plus 200 000 OT 35 hours teaching

Second year 2.3 Million base, plus OT teaching = 2.6 or 2.8 M won with with only 22 hours teaching

I dare say its only frozen for those who are not searching hard enough, higher salaries are out there folks, take some time, you are the one that is in demand. It all depends on what you bring to the table!!!!!!

If you are versed in the art of negotiating as I am that will be advantagous.

Good Luck, its not that hard

As the inspector sad...salaries are not frozen RR...they are open to negociation...providing you have something to negociate with.
