Selection Criteria

• A candidate for Distinguished Service Professor must demonstrate substantial distinguished service both:
  • At the local campus level and/or local community or regional level; and
  • At the state and/or national - and/or international level.
• Distinguished service must exceed the service generally considered to be part of a candidate’s basic professional work (professional committees, etc.) and should include service that exceeds that for which professors are normally compensated.
• Distinguished service must extend over multiple years and involve the application of intellectual skills drawing from the candidate’s scholarly and research interests to issues of public concern, and may include, but not be solely based upon, exceptional leadership in local and system-wide faculty governance.
• Note: Faculty with a concurrent administrative appointment - above the level of department chair/director or equivalent - for which they receive extra compensation are ineligible.
• Furthermore, it is not appropriate to build a nomination dossier of a former administrator based upon service while in an administrative appointment.
