ACCEPTING FACULTY EMERITI NOMINATIONS STARTING

October 15, 2024

Nominations For Commencement 2025 are due January 31, 2025.

Nominations for emeritus/emerita professor may originate from the dean or director with a support letter from senior faculty, or from faculty working through the unit peer review committee. Recommendations will be forwarded to the campus-wide promotion/tenure review committee by the Provost's Office to be evaluated on the basis of the criteria for promotion to the rank of full professor with the added caveat that the position of professor emeritus is the highest honor that is bestowed upon a retired faculty member. The campus-wide promotion/tenure review committee will review all nominations and make a recommendation to the Provost, who will then forward his/her recommendation to the Chancellor, whose decision is final and non-reviewable. Please review the UAF Regulations for Emeritus Status, as amended by the Faculty Senate in 2014. For your reference, please review the .
