Faculty Rights and Responsibilities
Emeritus Faculty
Approved by the Faculty Senate March
6, 2006 and the Provost March 13, 2006.
Applies to all full-time faculty who are not represented by
collective bargaining.
The Emeritus title recognizes past contributions to the community
of scholars at Wright State University and confers on the
recipient the rights and privileges of other members of the
community of scholars at Wright State University, subject
to the limitation of the right to vote and the right to hold
elective office. It is conferred as a lifetime status. Insofar
as it is possible, and subject to fiscal considerations, the
University will extend courtesies and services to Emeritus
faculty that facilitate their continuing contributions to
the academic life at Wright State University.
Faculty members who have served as full-time faculty ten or
more years at Wright State University will automatically be
granted the Emeritus title upon retirement and upon written
request by the faculty member to the provost. Faculty members
who have served as full-time members of the faculty for five
or more years, but less than ten years, may request consideration
for the Emeritus title through the process of a petition to
the provost through the faculty member's own administrative
unit. In order to be considered for the Emeritus title, the
petition of a faculty member must be supported by the dean
of the college or school in which the faculty member holds
his or her primary appointment.
