<p>Sure. One particularly peer research university would be…none other than Berkeley itself!. For example, Berkeley’s Computer Science 61A course - the gateway course of the CS and EECS majors - is being taught this fall by none other than Brian Harvey, who is a lecturer. Many of the CS61x series courses used to be taught by Mike Clancy, who is a lecturer. (Clancy now teaches mostly CS3 while serving as the general teaching coordinator for all lower-division CS courses). </p>

<p>Keep in mind, this is not just some scrub computer science department. This is the Berkeley CS department, one of the most highly rated CS departments in the world. Yet they often times use lecturers to teach the large intro gateway courses.</p>
<p>So I ask: if the Berkeley CS department can have non-tenure-track lecturers teach large undergraduate courses, is it really so outrageous for the math department - or any other department for that matter - to do the same? You don’t really need tenure-track professors to be teaching every course.</p>
