Different Categories of Lecturers
Total number of lecturers is around 370; most of them are expatriates.
The very few Saudi lecturers, are encouraged to pursue their higher studies, and join KFUPM as Assistant Professors after receiving their PhD.
Therefore, the real issue of promotion lies on expatriates

RI Lectures The Research Institute has developed a special
promotion system for the expatriate MS graduates hired by RI.
Thus, the committee has eliminated the RI group from this study.
Appendix C of the report presents this system.

Institutional Survey on Promotion of Lecturers British ranking system differs from the
American system (e.g. the rank of Instructor in British system is considered lower than Lecturer).
American system is almost similar to KFUPM. The result of this comparative study is provided
in the report (Appendix D of the report).
This was again compared with the ranking system adopted by RI.
