==Hierarchy==
All university professors in Resha are certified as letueri ("lecturers"). At the University of Resha, lecturers are broken into three different categories; letuersk higge ("high lecturers"), letuersk associashiet ("associate lectuers"), and letuersk karuv ("low lectuers"). Typically, low lecturers are part-time positions and only teach one or two classes per semester. Associate lecturer is an entry-level position, and the most common one found in the university. After being employed as an associate lecturer for at least ten years, one may request to be promoted to high professor. High professors are the highest-ranking position at the school and is a tenured position. They are known throughout Resha for being the highest-salaried teaching position in the nation.
High professors are also awarded with a spot on the university's governing board. When selecting a new dean, the school's high professors are typically the first group of candidates considered. The dean is the highest-ranking position the school, and oversees all aspects of it. While they are not enforced to teach classes, many often do as they are nearly always former professors. A new dean is selected after consultations by professors, students, alumni, and a board of academics.
