Membership
The Distinguished Prefix Review Committee shall consist of 12 members who have either served on an Area Review Committee for indefinite status or been granted the Distinguished Prefix. The committee shall be appointed by the Chancellor or designee upon recommendations made by the Academic Staff Executive Committee with the advice of the Nominating Committee.

Terms
Each term should be for three (3) years with a maximum of two (2) consecutive terms per member. This allows the committee to turn over one-third of the committee membership each year without losing continuity. The term of office shall be three years except during the first term after this document is approved, when four committee members shall be appointed for three years, four members for two years, and four members for one year. Appointments to complete the terms of members who resign shall be made by the Chancellor or designee upon recommendation of the Academic Staff Executive Committee. Term limits may be waived by the Academic Staff Executive Committee, if necessary, to preserve continuity on the committee. The definition below originated in the February 27, 1992 University of Wisconsin System guidelines for Distinguished Prefix interpretation.

Distinguished Prefix is defined as follows:
A Professional, Instructional or Research academic staff member at the distinguished level performs at a level of proficiency typically requiring extensive experience and advanced knowledge and skills. The expertise of an academic staff member at this level is commonly recognized by his or her peers and through a reputation that extends beyond new approaches, methods or techniques to resolve or prevent problems with little or no expert guidance and to cope independently with new, unexpected or complex situations. At this level, an academic staff member can be expected to guide or train other academic staff or to oversee their work. Currently, only Category A academic staff in the Professional title series and selected Category B academic staff in the Instructional and Research title series are eligible for the Distinguished Prefix (see Unclassified Title Guideline, pages 6-7 and 10-18, for definitions).
