Retirement

Guidelines for librarians and faculty emeritus

When faculty members decide to retire from the university, they are automatically offered the title “emeritus.” In the case of a librarian, the title will be librarian emeritus. You will retain your academic rank or position, with “emeritus” added. While the title does not imply legal or contractual obligations, it is an expression by the university and the faculty member or librarian of their mutual desire to maintain a public and ongoing affiliation.

Benefits of being an emeritus

• Your email accounts will be continued.
• Your library privileges will continue.
• A recreation pass is available to members of the Retirees’ Association on the same basis as for regular faculty and staff.
• You may arrange for a self-paid benefit plan through the university’s normal carrier.
• At your request, a listing in the appropriate university directory will be provided.
