Funding for several of these comes from endowments, and is managed by the Dean (ACR)’s office, which also takes an active role in raising funds for further Chairs. The selection to these Chairs is done by a Selection Committee. The tenure of the Chair Professorship position is for a period of three years, and the chair is re-advertised at the end of that period.
