Emeriti faculty are defined as those retired persons who were, at the time
of retirement, listed on the Official Roster of the Voting Faculty. Emeritus
status is conferred upon approval of the Board of Trustees. Emeriti are considered
a continuing part of the university as described in the following:
- Emeritus status is established at the academic rank held upon retirement
for faculty with academic rank and at the last permanent job title for others.
- Emeriti will remain on the Official Roster of the Voting Faculty in the
preretirement constituency until they request to no longer be enrolled or
until incapacity or death. While enrolled on the Roster, they retain all associated
privileges including eligibility for service on university committees, eligibility
for election to the Faculty Senate, and listing in the Catalog and University
Directory.
- Emeriti retain their following preretirement eligibilities and access to
services:
- Graduate Faculty status;
- attendance at university classes upon payment of the appropriate fee;
- access to library, physical education, and laundry facilities;
- Faculty Club membership;
- access to athletic, cultural, and entertainment campus events as available
to all members of the faculty; and,
- counseling services when such services become generally available.
- Emeriti who are engaged in specific, assigned duties are to be provided
office space and support consistent with those duties by the unit in which
the duties are assigned. The provision of office space and other types of
support to emeriti who have no assigned duties is not an entitlement but
may be provided at the discretion of the department of which the persons
are emeriti.
