1. All full-time faculty members who retire automatically enjoy the privileges enumerated in the Retired Faculty Policy as agreed to by the Senate and the Provost.

2. All full-time faculty members with at least twenty years of service at the University on their retirement automatically attain the rank of emeritus faculty on relinquishing tenure or long-term contracts and shall continue to retain that rank so long as they remain in good standing with the University. Time served at another university may count toward the twenty years, but this time counted may not exceed the number of years served at Seton Hall.
