III. G. ENDOWED CHAIRS

(Source: Dean of the Faculty, June, 2023)

Endowed Chairs are awarded by CAT consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding under which each Endowed Chair was created. In awarding these Chairs, CAT considers both length of service to the college and the criteria for faculty appointment and advancement specified in Article IV of the Faculty Constitution, namely teaching, scholarship and service to the Reed community (and to external communities where relevant). Endowed Chairs can only be held by tenured members of the faculty. An Endowed Chair may be left unoccupied. On retirement the holder of an Endowed Chair may continue to use the title of the chair, should he or she so wish, so long as “Emeritus” is added to the end of the title; the Endowed Chair itself can be awarded to another member of the faculty.
