| In 1987 the Eastern Kentucky University Foundation established a program to recognize "creative, self-motivated exemplars of the
ideal college professor." All full-time tenured faculty are eligible for the two-year professorship which comes with an extra salary
stipend of $4,000 a year. The criteria is based on the University's standard criteria for promotion, tenure and merit. Selection is
made by a committee composed of faculty and administrative staff members. |
