The term "Past Faculty" includes those who accepted a salaried position on staff in the English Department between 1961 and present and are no longer serving in that capacity. The majority are retirees, many of whom were subsequently honored as Professors Emeriti. Others ceased being English Department faculty for at least one of the follow reasons:
Administrative Transfer. In some cases, English Department faculty intentionally ended their tenure but remained in the District to serve in the deanery (or other administrative positions).
Self-Termination. Some instructors intentionally truncated their tenure track or chose to leave the District to pursue other teaching positions or different career paths, or, in very rare cases, because they were forced to resign.
Tenure Transfer. A handful of charter English faculty who held teaching credentials in multiple disciplines were eventually tenured into other nascent departments. Likewise, ESL faculty members hired before the ESL Program broke ranks to become a stand-alone department continue to be integral to our Department's history.
