Noted author Salman Rushdie is getting a new title at Emory University -- university distinguished professor.
The title change reflects expanded activities for the author of "Midnight's Children" and "The Satanic Verses."
He has served as a distinguished writer in residence at Emory for the last five years.
“I am delighted to be continuing my relationships with Emory,” Rushdie said in a release announcing the change. “The students have been bright and fun, the faculty engaging and stimulating, and the librarians exceptionally helpful in processing and cataloguing my archive. I very much look forward to these next few years with Emory.”
