Are Distinguished Professorships reviewed after the initial appointment?
Colleges must review the performance of all Distinguished Professors at the end of every five years. The president will submit the review to the Chancellor. In consultation with appropriate departmental and college persons, the president is expected to recommend to the Chancellor that a Distinguished Professorship be discontinued if there is failure to perform at levels expected of persons at that rank. Recommendations not to reappoint on any grounds other than scholarly productivity and excellence are inappropriate for this honor.
