教师退休政策

Any Professor or Associate Professor, with ten or more years of full-time experience, may, at the point of retirement, apply for and be granted the honorary rank of Professor Emeritus. The Professor may choose to have his/her application supported by letters of recommendation from faculty and or from recommendations by the appropriate School's Rank, Tenure and Promotion (or Tenure) Committee. All application materials must be submitted to the Dean's office one month prior to the anticipated retirement date (July 1 for spring retirement; December 1 for fall retirement). The Dean will review the application of the candidate and forward the appropriate comments and recommendations to the Provost at least two weeks prior to the anticipated retirement date (July 15 for spring retirement, December 15 for fall retirement). The Provost, in consultation with the President, will determine whether to grant the rank of Professor Emeritus.

The minimum criteria for consideration to receive the honorary rank of Professor Emeritus are as follows:

1. 在大学担任全职教授职务达十年或以上；

2. 退休后担任副教授或正教授；

3. A record of excellent service in one's field of academic specialization and within one's school and department;

4. 在校内外有良好的道德和伦理行为记录； 支持大学使命的记录；

5. 并且，希望继续与学院和大学保持联系。

Once bestowed, the privileges and benefits associated with the rank of Professor Emeritus may be declined by the retired faculty member for personal reasons. The rank may also be withdrawn by the School, but only for just cause.

大学将以下列方式承认和支持其名誉：

1. 退休时在公众场合的特别表彰；

2. Notification of retirement, and the awarding of the honorary rank of Professor Emeritus, in both internal and external media;

3. 在学校目录中列出的姓名；

4. Presentation of a special medallion to be worn at future graduations, or whenever academic regalia is worn;

5. 继续使用自己大学的电子邮件地址；

6. 获邀出席公立大学的活动及活动；

7. Continued faculty privileges such as University libraries, athletic events, and recreational activities commensurate with other full time faculty as determined by the Provost.

Program Directors, Associate 院长, 院长, and other University administrators will be encouraged to use Professors Emeriti as mentors and as a source of intellectual and moral support for members of the faculty.
