Privileges

Emeritae/emeriti faculty receive the following university privileges

Campus Identification

Retain campus ID providing access to university facilities; discounts and tickets; and participation in university-wide events such as plays, concerts and academic lectures.

Email Access

Full access to brandeis.edu email accounts, listservs, mailing lists and websites.

Desktop Software and Computers

Access to both Office 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud software through the Help Desk, upon request. These two software titles are not provided automatically when a person becomes emeritus/a, but the Help Desk can manually provide individual access if it is needed for university work (email help@brandeis.edu).

Emeriti faculty may continue using their Brandeis-issued Refresh computer but are not eligible for a replacement when it reaches the end of the normal replacement cycle or when their department is up for replacements. All computer equipment should be returned when it is no longer in use. There is not an option to purchase or to keep the computer equipment.

Rank

Retain rank and, where applicable, title to endowed chair, appended with "emeritus" or "emerita," where gift or grant agreement allows. See Appointment of Faculty to Emeritus/a Status.

Department Privileges

To the extent possible, may be offered office space on the Waltham campus and be included on department webpages and listservs. Some departments invite emeritae/emeriti faculty to departmental meetings and events.

Research Facilities and Equipment
Requests for ongoing use of specialized instrumentation, research equipment, including computers, laboratory facilities, other space or other resources, should be formalized in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) involving the relevant Brandeis department, school and the Provost's Office. Contact vpresearch@brandeis.edu to initiate such discussions. The ownership of equipment and supplies purchased with Brandeis University funds, including grants, remains with the university, which will be responsible for complying with any funder requirements on use of equipment.
Faculty Governance

The Faculty Senate includes one seat for an emerita/emeritus faculty member. All emeritae/emeriti faculty are eligible to run for the seat.

Library Privileges

Full access to all Brandeis library services, including, but not limited to, borrowing privileges at Goldfarb Library, interlibrary loan and the Technology Services Help Desk. Resources should only be used for academic purposes.

Library Carrels

Those who do not retain a departmental office may apply for a carrel in Goldfarb Library. Contact University Librarian Matthew Sheehy.

Campus Parking

Access to a parking permit and card-activated parking areas. In order to apply for or renew parking privileges, complete the Application for Motor Vehicle Permit at the Department of Public Safety.

Athletic Privileges
