The Chancellor’s Professor title is designed for persons who have earned the title of Professor and who have demonstrated unusual academic merit and whose continued promise for scholarly achievement is unusually high. Thus, Chancellor’s Professors are faculty who have achieved acclaim for their accomplishments and who are highly likely to continue producing notable achievement in scholarship.

The Chancellor’s Professor title is unmodified, consistent with the campus wide selection process where individuals are reviewed for their accomplishments as a whole, without regard to area or subarea of specialization. Faculty who hold a title of distinction can describe their affiliations and/or disciplines in a format such as: Chancellor’s Professor, Department of X.
