Dear Colleagues:

Revised Academic Personnel Policy 120, Emeritus Titles

Enclosed is revised Academic Personnel Policy 120, Emeritus Titles, which is effective immediately. The revision, added as a footnote to the Academic Personnel Manual in APM - 120-10, expands the definition of retirement for purposes of granting Emeritus status as provided in Standing Order of The Regents 103.5 by conferring Emeritus status on those faculty who separate from UC while receiving disability income from UCRP, if they are otherwise eligible for Emeritus status.

The amendment also clarifies the existing practices of:

• Granting Emeritus status only to those faculty who retire within 120 days of separation from UC.
  
  
• Granting Emeritus status to faculty who take Lump Sum Cashouts, within 120 days of separation from UC, rather than regular service retirement.

This policy has been reviewed by campuses, the Academic Senate, the Office of the General Counsel, employee organizations and affected employees. I would like to thank the Academic Council and your staff for help in the development and review of this proposal.

The policy may be viewed online at: http://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel/_files/apm/apm-120.pdf

Sincerely,

Robert C. Dynes
Enclosure
