Regents professor is a title bestowed on selected senior faculty members who, in the judgment of the dean on the advice of a faculty selection committee, merit recognition of their accomplishments as teachers, scholars and leaders in university affairs and in their national/international scholarly communities.
“Each Regents Professor named this term exemplifies the very best that our faculty members offer from the profession,” Claiborne said.
The appointment comes with an annual stipend of $8,300 to be used either as a salary supplement or for research support, or both.
“The college was very fortunate to receive an excellent group of nominees for the three Regents’ Professorships it sought to fill,” Claiborne said.
