The Office of the Secretary of the Faculty will work with the deceased faculty member’s department chair to identify a memorial resolution committee. The memorial will be presented at a Faculty Senate meeting and the document kept as an historical record of the professor’s contributions to the university. Please contact the Office of the Secretary of the Faculty to schedule the presentation. The Faculty Senate meets on the first Monday of the month February-May and October-December at 3:30 pm in 272 Bascom Hall.
The memorial resolution committee should provide the following to the Office of the Secretary of the Faculty approximately two weeks in advance of the Faculty Senate meeting presentation.
- Memorial resolution (two page maximum single-spaced)
- One hundred word abstract (one minute presentation to be read by one of the committee members)
- Photograph of faculty member
- Names of next of kin who will attend the Faculty Senate meeting
Eligibility for a Memorial Resolution:
- Granted emeritus status and held a faculty title at the time of retirement (professor, associate professor, assistant professor). Faculty who held an administrative title at the time of retirement must have served as a faculty member prior to holding administrative positions in order to be eligible.
- Passed away with an active appointment with one of those titles.
