D’oh! I thought it meant some kind of special honor. Does it at least mean “was granted tenure and was not fired”? That’s not useless information, I guess.
Yeah, it’s generally reserved for tenured professors that retired with the title of “Professor” (instead of “Associate Professor” or “Assistant Professor”). In general, after you get the title of “Professor”, there aren’t any more promotions to get.
In U.S. academia, “Professor Emeritus” is a title given to professors who are retired.
