Upon the recommendation of a department faculty, Deans or Department Heads shall nominate faculty for emeritus rank. After approval by the institution faculty, Provost/VCAA and Chancellor, these nominations are forwarded to the Board of Regents for their concurrence. Emeritus faculty members may enjoy library privileges, the MUS’s health insurance plan for retired faculty members and may attend, without vote, meetings of their department, institution and general faculty. Free campus parking permits are available and emeritus faculty can use the HPER Complex under the same terms and conditions of regular faculty members. If resources of the various departments are adequate, then the department may grant access to office and/or laboratory space, computer usage, and secretarial help to further 66 | Page their academic or scientific research and/or professional activities, excluding consulting. It is understood that the instructional, research and service requirements of the regular faculty must have priority; therefore, these privileges as to office, laboratory space and secretarial help may be rescinded by the department should it be necessary to do so. The Institution and/or the Foundation may act as fiscal agent for grant and contract proposals submitted by emeritus faculty. BOR Policy 702.2 defines the eligibility requirements for emeritus appointments.
