Distinguished Professorships, Advisory Committee On

Each School of the University has a Distinguished Professorships Committee (DPC) that evaluates faculty nominated for Distinguished Chairs. These Committees are formed according to the by-laws of the schools, but generally are constituted of members who are themselves holders of Distinguished Chairs. These Committees report to the Deans of their respective Schools and ultimately to the Provost who will recommend faculty to the Board of Trustees for Distinguished Honors.

There is also a University Distinguished Professorships Committee advisory to the Provost directly. This Committee convenes at the call of the Provost to consider candidates that the School DPC’s are unable to appropriately review, e.g. the nominee’s work may be too broadly interdisciplinary. The University DPC meets infrequently. It may provide a core around which an ad hoc committee is formed, drawing faculty as appropriate to consider special cases.
