D. Distinguished University Professor

The designation Distinguished University Professor was created in 1994 by the Board of Trustees. The president awards the title selectively to recently retired faculty members who agree to serve the University for up to three years after the date of their retirement. The precise nature of their duties and the remuneration is negotiated between the faculty member and the provost, and with the concurrence of the president. The first incumbents began their terms in the fall 1994 semester.
