Article 125 - City University of New York
6211 - College Presidents Emeriti; Appointments, Duties, Qualifications, Salary.

§ 6211. College presidents emeriti; appointments, duties,
qualifications, salary. The board of trustees shall be authorized to
appoint, notwithstanding the provisions of any local law or charter to
the contrary, as president emeritus any retired president of an existing
college unit or a college unit hereafter to be created other than
teachers' training schools, whose duty it shall be to consult and advise
with educational officers as and when requested by the president, or
head of such college unit. No person shall be eligible for such
appointment unless he shall have been duly retired from such college
unit. He shall receive for the duration of his life such annual salary
as the board of trustees or like financial authority, shall determine.
The salary is to be in lieu of the annual pension to which such retired
president would be entitled during his lifetime but is not to be
construed as depriving him at the time of his retirement of the right to
choose an option or as depriving his estate or beneficiary of any death
benefit accruing to such estate or beneficiary under the law.
