   PRIVILEGES FOR UCSB EMERITI
   
   Emeritus (emeriti) is a title conferred by The Regents on every male and 
   female academic appointee or administrative officer upon retirement, who is 
   a member of the Academic Senate. Other academic appointees and 
   administrative officers whom the President recommends, based on specific 
   criteria established by the President, may also receive emeritus status 
   upon retirement. [Standing Order 103.5].
   
   Emeriti are considered a valuable resource to the University. Their 
   collective knowledge and experience can continue to serve as an important 
   asset to the academic mission of the University; and hence, they shall be 
   afforded the following privileges--academic and nonacademic--to continue 
   their relationship with the institution they have helped to advance.
   
   ACADEMIC PRIVILEGES
   
   Academic Senate Membership: Voting membership in the Academic Senate is 
   retained by those who are members of the Academic Senate at the time of 
   their retirement. [Standing Order 105.1a and Academic Senate By-law 55 (C), 
   (E)].
   
   Contracts and Grants: Academic emeriti may submit proposals for and may 
   administer grants, contracts or other research projects supported by 
   extramural or intramural funds or gifts. (Contact Research Development and 
   Administration for the process.)
   
   Direction of Graduate Students: An emeritus professor may serve on graduate 
   student dissertation committees (1) as one of the minimum set of three 
   members of a dissertation committee, with approval of the Graduate Council, 
   or (2) as Chair of a dissertation committee if that committee additionally 
   contains three ladder faculty members, one of whom is designated as Vice 
   Chair, subject to the recommendation of the department and approval by the 
   Graduate Council.
   
   Space: Emeriti may be granted space for the continuation of scholarly 
   and/or creative endeavors subject to the following conditions: 1) space is 
   available; 2) an emeritus is assigned space in only one department; 3) the 
   assigned space is counted towards the departments' allocation; and 4) 
   emeriti can be assigned space on a shared basis.
   The procedure for ensuring that adequate consideration is given for emeriti 
   space needs is as follows:
   
   a)	Emeriti apply annually to the appropriate department chair (or 
   ORU director), defining and justifying the requested space and 
   associated supporting requirements (NOTE: when the space is 
   required for extramurally-funded projects with a life of more 
   than one year, longer than annual commitments will be considered 
   on a case-by-case basis); when prioritizing such a request, the 
   department chair/ORU director shall give due consideration to 
   space needs for research active emeriti vis-a-vis research 
   inactive faculty.
   
   b)	The department chair (or ORU Director) forwards the request with 
   recommendations to the appropriate Dean/Provost (or for ORUs, to 
   the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Development);
   
   c)	The Dean/Provost (or the Associate Vice Chancellor for Research 
   and Development) decides the merits of the application, with 
   consideration of both the substance of the request and other 
   claims by faculty on available space within the pool assigned by 
   the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs;
   
   d)	Decisions regarding emeriti space allocations may be appealed by 
   either emeriti or other faculty to the Vice Chancellor for 
   Academic Affairs, who will consult with the Divisional Chair of 
   the Academic Senate prior to rendering a decision on the appeal.
   
   Upon request by the Academic Senate, the Vice Chancellor for Academic 
   Affairs will conduct a survey and assessment of space allocation to emeriti 
   and the distribution of such space across disciplines, enlisting the 
   assistance of the Academic Senate Committee on Emeriti Relations and 
   Retirement Matters, the Deans and the Provost.
   
   Library: Emeriti retain the same library privileges held at the time of 
   retirement. 
   
   NONACADEMIC PRIVILEGES
   
   Emeriti Center: Emeriti are entitled to the use of facilities and resources 
   of the Emeriti Center.
   Credit Union: Members of the Golden One Credit Union at the time of 
   retirement may continue to use the credit Union, subject to the conditions 
   of regular membership.
   
   Faculty Club: Members of the Faculty Club at retirement may retain 
   membership in the Club without continued payment of monthly dues subject to 
   the conditions of the By-laws for the UCSB Faculty Club.
   
   Insurance: Coverage in certain group insurance plans of the University of 
   California may be retained at group rates after retirement. Life insurance 
   coverage may be converted to individual rates. (For specific information, 
   contact Benefits Office in Personnel Services.)
   
   Parking: Retirees with five years of service or more may receive a free 
   parking permit by applying annually to Parking Services. The decal 
   designation will be the same as that held at the time of retirement unless 
   the designation was "R". An "A" decal will replace an "R".
   
   Use of Recreation Facilities and Athletic Event Attendance: UCSB 
   recreational facilities may be used by emeriti. Tickets for athletic events 
   and discount tickets for non-University recreation are available on the 
   same basis as employees.
