Faculty Policies and Procedures Handbook

C. Professor Emeritus/Emerita

A full‐time faculty member who has honorably served ten years at The University of Tampa and has retired is eligible, upon nomination of his/her department and the concurrence of the provost and the president, to be named by action of the Board of Trustees Professor Emeritus or Professor Emerita.

The designation carries with it a listing in the University Catalog among the faculty emeriti and the use of an office in the library designated for the collective use of emeriti faculty.

Emeriti faculty members may participate in all events — academic or athletic — to which the University identification card provides admission. Moreover, the University is eager that every possible contact be continued. They include:

  1. Full library privileges;
  2. The privilege of attending commencements, convocations and other special events in the life of the University; and
  3. On appropriate occasions, an invitation to serve on faculty committees or University task forces.
