Policy Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish the criteria for awarding executive administrative officer or academic dean emeritus status at East Tennessee State University.
-
Policy Statement
East Tennessee State University may honor select executive administrative officers and academic deans, upon retirement from the University, by the granting of emeritus status. To be awarded emeritus status the officer or dean must have served the University for at least 10 years in the respective position. These individuals will be granted certain rights and privileges in recognition of their honored role in the University community and their ongoing potential for contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the University. The emeritus status will become effective July 1 of each year, and public recognition of this status will occur annually.
Emeritus executive administrators and deans shall be privileged to maintain an identification card entitling them to certain University privileges. These will include library use, faculty parking permit, reduced rates for athletic events and other privileges which do not exert undue financial burdens on the University. In addition, dean emeriti may request the use of available office or laboratory space or may apply, upon approval, for University grants under the same rules as other faculty.
