Allocating Office Space to Emeritus Professors

As a campus standard, emeritus faculty may occupy a shared office on campus when they are actively engaged in substantial ongoing work that serves the University. Eligible work that could justify the need for office space is as follows: (1) Teaching that requires the emeritus professor to hold regular office hours for students; (2) Research primarily involving campus students and regular meetings on campus with these students; (3) Publication, where the on-campus location is essential for the emeritus professor to be productive in the publication of archival research reports and monographs; (4) Active involvement in service to the campus community through participation in departmental, college, or University committees or other University activities. It is expected that an emeritus professor should be offered use of his or her office for one year after retirement. Thereafter, emeritus professors desiring campus office space will be expected to move to a shared office.
