| In higher education, Endowed Chair is a time-honored term. Referring not to furniture but to faculty, it describes an endowment that funds an additional faculty position focusing on an area of special importance. Even when filled, a Chair's chair often would be vacant — the UW-Green Bay professor holding such a position would be 'on the run,' in action researching, teaching and serving the community. | |||||||||||
