HSE Staff Members Awarded Status of Tenured Professor

On June 22, several HSE lecturers and staff members were awarded the status of Tenured Professor at a meeting of HSE Academic Council. Sixteen HSE staff members became Distinguished Professors at the Higher School of Economics for the first time.

Tenured Professors

The HSE Board of HSE Tenured Professors was established in 2003. So far, this position remains unique to Russian universities and is conferred only at HSE, although a similar honorary title has been granted for many years by Anglo-Saxon universities.

For more information about the history of the Board, readers can refer to an interview with Lev Lubimov, HSE Deputy Academic Supervisor. The interview was given as part of the project ‘A Year in History’, timed to coincide with HSE’s 25th anniversary.

The honorary status of Tenured Professor is awarded to teachers in the position of professor, who have made special contributions to the university. The Board of Tenured Professors is an independent and self-governing body which deals with the strategic, personnel, moral and ethical legal issues of the university.

At the most recent meeting of the Academic Council, HSE Rector, Yaroslav Kuzminov, noted that the number of the Board members and their research fields, as well as the process itself, is similar to the election process at the Russian Academy of Sciences. On the eve of the meeting of the Board of Tenured Professors, each section put forward several candidates, who were then included in the final list.
