[quote name='Joe the Pagan' date='Oct 18 2009, 03:09 PM'] [quote name='cdkorzen' date='Oct 18 2009, 03:11 PM']It's an academic thing. Professor Emeriti have an office, e-mails, a phone number... the hope is that they will still come back and be a resource to the younger crowd. They're duties are reduced, but they're still connected to the university. For example, a very close friend of the family is a Professor Emeritus at Virginia Tech -- he still has students he advises, and can do work, but the expectations of output are much less. Whereas from what I understand, retired military officers get much less resources from the armed forces (don't maintain an e-mail address, and I doubt they could live on a base), and are pretty much independent.[/quote] If your family friend decided he was not going to advise students or be a resource could he have his title removed?
