Responsibilities
The Distinguished Prefix Review Committee is charged with reviewing requests for distinguished prefix. A Professional, Instructional or Research academic staff member at the distinguished level performs at a level of proficiency typically requiring extensive experience and advanced knowledge and skills. The expertise of an academic staff member at this level is commonly recognized by his or her peers and through a reputation that extends beyond new approaches, methods or techniques to resolve or prevent problems with little or no expert guidance and to cope independently with new, unexpected or complex situations. The recommendation of the committee is advisory to the dean or director.
More information about the distinguished prefix can be found here.

Each term shall be for three years. Appointments to complete the terms of members who resign shall be made by the chancellor or designee upon recommendation of the Academic Staff Executive Committee.
