  Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professors are qualified experts who give lectures and seminars in their field of study, such as the basic fields of science or literature or the applied fields of engineering, medicine, law, or business.
Professor emeritus: after full professors retire from active duties, they may continue to teach and to be listed; they may also draw a very large percentage of their last salary as pension (as tenure is technically for life).
Typically, such a professor may be invaluable to his university department in procuring research funding and/or in publishing scholarly works, and therefore the department would prefer that he not distract himself with teaching duties that are not directly linked to his research activities.

 Professor Emeritus Guidelines
The philosophies and rationales for emeritus status vary widely, from inclusion of all retired faculty to narrow selection by a process similar to promotion.
This approach is based on a recognition that an emeritus appointment creates mutual benefits: for the professor, emeritus status sustains a basic support system for continued scholarship and collegial relations; for the institution, it allows an ongoing association with active, distinguished academics and scholars.
The general expectation of a minimum of fifteen years of service for emeritus appointments may well often rule out faculty with less service time, however distinguished their records may be.
