Title of "Teaching Professor"?

[Wahoo Redux]

For those who have a "teaching faculty," are they full members of the faculty? That is, can they vote for the chair of their department? Are they on a tenure-track? Paid comparably to traditional TT faculty?

We lecturers teach more (5/5 vs. 4/4), cannot vote on tenure or chair, are paid $5K to $10K less (depending on how long TT faculty have been there), and are non-TT.  We are listed in a separate section on the faculty page.  Nevertheless, we are considered members of the faculty and are treated like colleagues.  Some of us are actually teaching graduate courses. There are definitely some advantages to the lecturer job, namely that the ugly decisions are not ours to make (we will have some tenure issues in the near future, I am afraid).

At my institution, they are full time positions and are the equivalent of tenure-track or tenured positions, but where there is only an expectation to engage in teaching and service, but not research. There are three levels, assistant, associate, and full, which correspond to the old titles of Lecturer with potential security of employment, Lecturer with security of employment, and Senior Lecturer, and they have the same voting privileges as tenure-track/tenured faculty of the same rank.
