 * One of the eight academic-specific criteria is a named chair at a major institute of higher education. Prof. Getman is the Bernice L. Claugus Endowed Chair at The Ohio State University. Rbgetman2 (talk) 14:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering graduate program is ranked 15th in the nation amongst public universities and 25th overall by US News & World Report. Rbgetman2 (talk) 14:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but you have misunderstood the criteria. Most strong departments have multiple endowed chairs, so it has to be more as OSU has been good at raising chair funding. Distinguished University Professor would probably qualify. If you are unclear then I suggest posting a question to WT:Notability (academics), but this has already been discussed in WT:Notability (academics). Ldm1954 (talk) 15:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The criteria specifically states this:
 * The person has held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, a named chair appointment that indicates a comparable level of achievement, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.
 * For documenting that a person has held such an appointment (but not for a judgement of whether or not the institution is a major one), publications of the appointing institution are considered a reliable source.
 * Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members with endowed appointments.
 * Major institutions, for these purposes, are those that have a reputation for excellence or selectivity. Named chairs at other institutions are not necessarily sufficient to establish notability.
 * If "Distinguished University Professor" is instead the requirement, then that page should be updated. Rbgetman2 (talk) 15:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is concensus. You can post a comment on that page that you think the phrasing is still ambiguous, it would be good if you did. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:59, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually I do not agree with the proposal to get rid of the "C5" criteria. Endowed chairs require significant commitment from donors and are given based on prestige. Further, it provides an avenue for creating recognition separate from the rather limited ones currently allowed for professors. Rbgetman2 (talk) 16:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * N.B., you need to declare a COI. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
