CON Requesting Emeritus Faculty Appointment: Difference between revisions

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Emeritus appointment is given only at the time of retirement with at least 10 years of service at the College of Nursing. If the Emeritus Appointment request is an exception to the 10 years of service, the applicant should provide evidence to support this request. An appointment of emeritus status recognizes achievement at the highest level to show respect for a distinguished career.  Emeritus status recognizes faculty for lifetime contributions to the college of nursing and university, to their field and/or both upon their retirement.

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">When a faculty member makes a decision regarding retirement and wants to seek emeritus status they are required to inform their Division Assistant Dean/Supervisor. The faculty member and immediate supervisor will discuss Emeritus Faculty Appointment and determine any special provisions (e.g. office space, staff support, equipment) that may be provided with the appointment.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Two letters of recommendation are required, one from faculty applicant and one from their Division Assistant Dean/Supervisor. The faculty’s letter of nomination needs to include a substantive narrative addressing how the nominee qualifies for emeritus status. The letter will describe succinctly the faculty member’s “substantial service to the college/university” and any special provisions to be provided with this appointment. The Division Assistant Dean/Supervisor’s letter should validate or support the special provisions and requests of the faculty member.
