BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:  

 

Board Policy 7800 Emeritus Status provides for the granting of Emeritus Status to any retiring or retired faculty, classified staff, confidential staff, administrators, or trustees who have given honorable service to their College or the District. This will be the Board's first reading and review of the list prior to committee review and will return for Board approval at the July 11th Board meeting. 

 

  1. Process and Procedure for granting Emeritus Status:
    1. Once a year, before June 1, the Office of Human Resources will provide a list of faculty (full-time and part-time), classified staff, confidential staff, and administrators who have retired and have provided 10 consecutive years of service in the Peralta Community College District.
    2. A Chancellor/President to be granted Emeritus Status will have served three (3) years.
    3. A Trustee to be granted Emeritus Status will have served two (2) terms on the Board of Trustees.
