[quote=Anonymous]If you are not an academic, you may not get that being a "FULL" Professor (with tenure) is the highest level of the hierarchy (vs Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Instructor, Lecturer, TA). Many (maybe most?) faculty members do not attain that level. Actually, fewer and fewer schools are granting tenure, and many are opting for legions of "adjunct faculty" who earn much less, may not have offices, benefits, etc. It is exploitive of many young PhD's and means they are less available to students than full time faculty would be. For most academics, students would be considered fine to say "Professor" or "Dr"--as others have said, err on the side of respect/formality, unless otherwise directed.[/quote]
