1 - POLICY
A retired faculty member who remains research active may hold an appointment as a Research Professor. No remuneration is associated with such an appointment. On a case-by-case basis and with the agreement of the Dean and the Department Head, a Research Professor may be granted office or lab space, a mailbox in the Department, and/or other support as mutually agreed.

A Research Professor is not a formal “member” of the academic unit in terms of the Collective Agreement and its processes and procedures.
