  1. Request to Reconsider EFC Decision Regarding Permissive Conferral of Emeritus Status made at Feb. 6, 2023 Meeting. (Assoc Provost Lois Geist will join us for this issue). (Additional materials: see Operations manual excerpt, current guidelines)
  2. Proposals to Provost for Two Amendments to Ops. Manual Section 11.7 re Age 55 Minimum Age for Emeritus Status. (Copy of Section 11.7 was attached to the Draft Agenda.)
  1. Add words “at age 55 or older” after “University in 11.7.a (1).
  2. Expand Permissive Conferral Authorization by Adding a new 11.7d(2) (b) as follows:

“(b) Regular faculty who have served a significant period but have not attained the minimum age of 55.”

Current Section 11.7d(2)(b) then becomes 11.7d(2)(3).

  1. Discussion of Proposed Standards for EFC Recommendations on Requests for Permissive Conferral of Emeritus Status for Retiring Faculty. (Proposed Standards were attached to the Draft Agenda.)
    Add a new Factor 5: “How close to the Age 55 minimum age is the faculty member’s age at retirement?” 

        Current Factor 5 then becomes Factor 6.

  1. Tabled Motion to improve interactions between EFC, UIRA and Senior College. The basic idea was to stimulate periodic meetings  of the three leaders to promote better coordination among the three organizations.
