Associate Professor Status

Adam Fischer made this Freedom of Information request to University of Plymouth

The request was successful.

From: Adam Fischer

7 January 2011

Dear University of Plymouth,

I notice that the University of Plymouth is allowing some of its
academic staff to use the title "Associate Professor".

I understood that the title of 'Professor' is reserved in
correspondence to full professors only; lecturers and readers are
properly addressed by their academic qualification (Dr for a PhD,
DPhil etc. and Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms otherwise), however the University of
Plymouth appears to allow its Associate Professors to use the title
'Professor' (e.g.
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal....,
http://twitter.com/#!/timbuckteeth)

Can you please forward me any guidance on the usage of the
Associate Professor title at the University of Plymouth.

Yours sincerely,

Prof Adam Fischer
