Those honourably discharged from full time professorships (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emeriti

(Other definitions for emeriti that I've seen before include "Old professors" , "Such as retired professors who retain title" , "honoured predecessors?" , "Former professors" , "Persons who have been honourably discharged from public duties; time ire (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
