CSU Professorship
  1. Home
  2. CSU Professorship

The CSU Professorship is the most prestigious honor bestowed upon a faculty member in CSCU. Article 5.6 of the CSU-AAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement provides for such a distinction with the following language:

“The Board, upon the recommendation of a President and the Chancellor, may award full-time members the title, CSU Professor, provided that the member:  1) has been recommended for the honor by the President who has received the advice of a committee elected from the membership by a procedure designed by the Senate and approved by the President; 2) has been recognized by peers in the field for professional excellence.

CSU Professors shall retain their title for the duration of their service to the system and shall receive additional compensation at a rate of 1.10 times their regular salaries.

Not more than four (4) CSU Professorships shall be awarded in any given year, and there shall not be more than twelve (12) in Connecticut State University nor more than three (3) in any one university at any given time.”

Nomination Process

Nominations are now being solicited for CSU Professorship to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Vivian Shipley, who was appointed as a CSU Professor in 1998.
