More than two dozen UTSA faculty members earn tenure, promotion
(Sept. 14, 2012) -- The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs announces the promotion of 26 UTSA faculty members. The promotions were approved by the UT System Board of Regents in August and were effective Sept. 1, 2012.
Thirteen assistant professors earned tenure and promotion to associate professor; tenure is granted to qualified faculty who set a high standard of excellence in teaching, research or scholarship, and service. Additionally, 13 of the university's associate professors have been promoted to full professor in recognition of sustained professional accomplishment and contribution to the university.
"On behalf of President Ricardo Romo and myself, we want to congratulate all these faculty," said John H. Frederick, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The obtainment of tenure, and the years of work, research and dedication to teaching that it takes to reach that position, is an noteworthy accomplishment."
Also this year, 15 retired or retiring faculty members have been granted the honorary title of professor emeritus. The title of emeritus is awarded only to those who have served the university for an extensive period of time, made a significant contribution to their field of study, and exemplified the highest caliber of academic, ethical and civic standards.
"It's the university's hope that with this newly earned distinction, our emeritus faculty will continue to contribute to the high quality of education and culture which they helped build at UTSA," said Frederick.
