Emeriti regulations and statutes vary from institution to institution depending on several factors, but it is not conferred automatically based on the fact of retirement alone. Rather, a faculty member is usually eligible for emeritus/a status upon retirement when the faculty member (a) retires from a faculty position after faithful service (at its core, faithful service means service in keeping with the fundamental values of the institution), (b) has typically reached the age of 60 or more, (c) has a significant number of years of continuous service immediately preceding retirement, and (d) has a record of distinguished service to the institution and contributions to the field.
If these conditions are determined to have been met, the faculty member is eligible to hold the title of Professor of Philosophy Emeritus/a upon retirement. If the individual held an endowed chair while active, that title may carry forward with the emeritus/a designation.
The highest honor the college or university bestows, this title is conferred in recognition of extraordinary achievement as a teacher, scholar, and public servant. It is intended to recognize extraordinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the academic community.
