     CRITERIA FOR ACADEMY FELLOWS:  CURRENT AND PROPOSED

            Prospective candidates for Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences have been proposed to the Science Council by individual members of the Council for many years.

            Each year of recent years, a sub-committee has carefully assessed each candidate for Fellowship and has made recommendations to the Council which has voted individually on the candidates - thus producing a slate of nominees for consideration by the Board of Trustees.  Criteria for consideration of candidates for nomination to Fellow have become firmly established during recent years as follows:

Criteria for Academy Fellows

           Modified February 1983

            Academy Fellows will normally be:

            1.  Distinguished scientists in one of the fields of Natural History, or a related field,  primarily those resident in northern and central California.  If they are selected elsewhere from the West Coast, on the national or international scene, either the degree of distinction or the involvement with Academy affairs or both should be expected to rise proportionately.

            and/or

            2.  Established scientists who are scientifically or otherwise actively involved in the Academy's affairs or programs, or for whom there is a strong probability of active involvement.  The nominator should take the responsibility for bringing his nominee into contact with the Academy, and be able to supply the Science Council with written evidence of the nominee's interest in the Academy prior to election.

            3.  Distinguished individuals who have been active and effective in the advancement of science and/or the Academy.

            Fellow's selection, Fellow's representation and Fellow's activities have been the subject of many discussions over several years in the meetings of the Science Council.  Under the leadership of former President Bruce Bolt, the Council formally extended the privilege of proposing prospective candidates for Fellowship to all Fellows.

            Out of similar lengthy and repeated discussions on the subject of expanding the constitutional limit on the number of Fellows (300), the new category of Honorary Fellow was established by a constitutional amendment by the Board of Trustees in 1985:

          Honorary Fellow:  Suggested Statement

Approved by the Science Council

18 November 1984

            The designation "Honorary Fellow" shall be used to recognize 1) persons who need not be scientists but have either rendered distinguished service to the Academy, or whom the Academy wishes for other reasons to honor or 2) persons of recognized attainment in their field of science and who may be geographically remote; or, 3) statutory Fellows of the Academy whose employment has taken them beyond possibility of regular participation in Academy affairs or 4) statutory Fellows whose age or health preclude further participation.  Statutory Fellows fitting categories 3) or 4) may opt to become Honorary Fellows.

            Honorary Fellows will be elected in the same manner as statutory Fellows:  proposed by any two Fellows; nominated by the Science Council; and elected by the Board of Trustees.  There shall be no limit to their numbers, and they shall be welcome at regular Academy or Fellows' events.  They shall not have voting privileges and shall be exempt from payment of dues. 

            There are now 24 Honorary Fellows, five were in 1986, four in 1987 and fifteen Fellows have opted for Honorary Fellow status.  This option remains permanently open, available for reasons of health, remoteness or whatever.

            Among the many Science Council discussions on Fellows, the discussion at the meeting of 15 October 1986 led to a referral to the Fellows' Steering Committee, some thought and discussion by them and a set of proposals to the Science Council.  Excerpts from the minutes of the Science Council report the original discussion on the proposals.  The statements as finally adopted for trial by the Science Council are self-explanatory.

from the Science Council minutes of 15 October 1986

---"Cox questioned the criteria for election of Fellows and held the view that as in the NAS, one's research ability as evidenced by the strength of one's publications, be the single criterion for selection.  This engendered a spirited discussion by Talbot, McCosker, Kaplan and Hensill, with deft parries by Cox.  Kelley asked the Fellows' Committee to consider the question of expansion and requested Cox to participate in those discussions."---

from the Science Council minutes of 21 January 1987

---"Report of the Fellows' Steering Committee.  Williams reported upon the two meetings of the FSC, the aim of which was to review the procedures and criteria for the selection of Corporate Fellows, and distributed a "Proposal for Fellows' Selection Criteria and Procedure".  The FSC objectives for Fellowship (see below) were discussed, and it was concluded that 1) Fellows must be of the highest quality and 2) a balance in expertise and institutional representation should be sought.  Criteria (see below) were discussed, with the overriding requirement that the nominee should have demonstrated an active commitment and willingness to contribute and participate if elected.  The balance and distribution of Fellows was tabulated and evidenced the lack of government participants.  It was agreed that active recruitment from the disciplines of planetary sciences, as well as Federal and State government scientific agencies was desirable.  Rodda questioned William's database and addition, viz. that the sample size of 337 (exclusive of Trustees) is actually 273, with internal repetition caused by multidisciplinary and multiinstitutional Fellows.  The need for an "Affirmative Action" goal was discussed.  A modified Fellows' recruitment procedure (see below) was proposed, the substantive difference of which would be to convene a special 5-member committee (see below) each October, the purpose of which would be to actively seek candidates, as well as the passive acceptance of nominations of potential Corporate Fellows.  Talbot asked that the Academy President be added to the Committee as an ex-officio member.  Williams moved and Kaplan seconded that the new procedure to adopted for a one-year trial.  It was unanimously approved.  The Committee will be appointed by President Kelley."---

PLEASE NOTE:  Nominations for Fellowship may be submitted at any time.  Generally the call for nominations is  made in early March with the end of April as a deadline.  Please send nominations to the Fellows’ Office of the Academy.
