B. Professor Honoris Causa

As a result of a request from the Faculty Committee (predecessor to the Faculty Senate), the concurrence of the provost, and the action of the Faculty, the category of professor honoris causa was established in 1989‐90. As a result, especially distinguished and dedicated part‐time faculty members are eligible for selection as professors honoris causa, an honorary designation which carries neither salary, benefits, other forms of compensation nor tenure, but instead signifies the esteem of the Faculty and the administration for the individual and his/her contributions.
