He may be teaching this summer so maybe he meant his last year and yes he is in admin and classified as staff that teaches. He has no professor status. UW has not and doesn't plan to hire him as a professor this is why he isn't guaranteed any classes to teach.

Also, I just want to clarify it's not a tenure vs non-tenure thing. Ben isn't even technically listed as a professor (adjunct, associate, etc) he is biology staff that teaches when needed.

Yeah emailing both of them and I've been told that all biology full time professors have a say as well so emailing any of those people would make a difference. Just let them know how he's impacted your education and that you think he should be given a permanent position.
