[Dems2008] Obama was a Law professor

Statement Regarding Barack Obama

The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his
status as "Senior Lecturer."

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor
in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996
to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered
to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-
time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which
signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers have high-
demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times
during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in
a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
