That&#x27;s definitely not true in the CS department, at the very least. Lecturers in the CS department can get &quot;security of employment&quot; which is tenure in everything but name and, while I was there, most of the intro courses and some advanced undergraduate courses were taught by lecturers like that.<p>Of course, the CS department is in a different college (Engineering), has a different culture and, probably, way more funding than the math or physics departments, so there&#x27;s plenty of reasons for it to be different.
