Understand Senior Lecturer Tarryn Killie actually lives in Tasmania and delivers her lectures by computer or something, and she is a program manager.
Griffith Avn have on of their full time academics Tarryn Killie , senior lecturer so on around $120K , live in Tasmania & deliver lectures online - in my view this is extremely unusual
and beam your lectures in for your 4 to 6 hours of teaching per week. Whilst collecting a pay check as a senior lecturer of what would it be $110K to $140K.
And drops by to do their lectures for a few hours a week by Twitter or facebook , giving her students a wonderful social media experience.
You are making some very public assumptions about this woman's situation without providing any evidence to your claims. From misspelling her name to stipulating her salary, her whereabouts and her basis of employment even down to her weekly workload and her use of social media, you quite clearly have an alternative agenda to the one you are professing. You should tread carefully here.
A new head of aviation is appointed , who is immediately promoted from being a senior lecturer in the UK , to a full professor at Griffith. Thus skipping the rank of associate prof - this is quite unusual
No, it is not. Every institution has their own criteria for academic title. If someone joins a new university and meets their criteria for a professorship, they can have that title after due review. With that title will come a change in responsibility and role and some academics move universities for just this purpose, with an academic title being a term of their employment. Not unusual at all.
