Edit request: update faculty title to Emeritus

I am the subject of this article. Per WP:COI, I am requesting the following edits be reviewed and made by an independent editor rather than editing the article directly.

1. Update faculty title to emeritus status

Current text: "He joined the faculty at Georgia State University College of Law in 2006, where he is currently a Regents Professor and the Bobby Lee Cook Professor of Law."

Proposed text: "He joined the faculty at Georgia State University College of Law in 2006, where he is currently a Regents Professor Emeritus and the Bobby Lee Cook Professor of Law Emeritus."

Sources: Georgia State University College of Law faculty profile (lists title as "Professor Emeritus, Regents' Professor and Bobby Lee Cook Professor of Law"); Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Program Committee page (lists title as "Regents Professor Emeritus" and "Bobby Lee Cook Professor of Law Emeritus").

2. Remove outdated word "recently"

Current text: "He testified as an expert witness in Lowe v. Atlas, a landmark federal genetic discrimination case, and his work was recently cited in a U.S. Supreme Court opinion, (Kristina Box, Commissioner, Indiana Department of Health, et al. v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, Inc., et al (587 U. S. ____ (2019))"

Proposed text: "He testified as an expert witness in Lowe v. Atlas, a landmark federal genetic discrimination case, and his work was cited in a U.S. Supreme Court opinion, (Kristina Box, Commissioner, Indiana Department of Health, et al. v. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky, Inc., et al (587 U. S. ____ (2019))"

Reason: The citation is from 2019 and is no longer "recent"; the word is now inaccurate/stale.

3. Remove outdated phrase "In recent years"

Current text: "In recent years he has lectured in England, Austria, Italy, Russia, Pakistan and Canada, and at dozens of colleges and universities in the U.S."

Proposed text: "He has lectured in England, Austria, Italy, Russia, Pakistan and Canada, and at dozens of colleges and universities in the U.S."

Reason: The lecturing described is no longer recent; the time-relative phrase is now inaccurate/stale.

4. Add new sentence on Greenwall Foundation appointment

After the sentence ending "...a group of more than 200 individuals of outstanding accomplishment whose work has informed scholarship and public understanding of complex ethical issues in health, health care, science, and technology.", add: "In 2026 he was named to the Faculty Scholars Program Committee of the Greenwall Foundation."

Source: Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholars Program Committee page.

5. Add new sentence on 2024 NEJM publication

In the Career section, after the second paragraph, which currently ends: "Lombardo also published an edited volume: A Century of Eugenics in America: From the Indiana Experiment to the Human Genome Era (2010).", add: "In 2024 Lombardo published an assessment of the New England Journal of Medicine's own historical coverage of eugenics, "Recognizing Historical Injustices in Medicine and the Journal: 'Ridding the Race of His Defective Blood' — Eugenics in the Journal, 1906–1948.""

Source: Lombardo PA. Recognizing Historical Injustices in Medicine and the Journal: "Ridding the Race of His Defective Blood" — Eugenics in the Journal, 1906-1948. N Engl J Med. 2024;390:869-873. Link.
