now that you've made up your mind, here's one style guide:
academic titles - Confine capitalization to formal titles used directly before an individual’s name. Lowercase in all other uses.
According to Vice President for Finance and Administration Bobby Jones
According to Bobby Jones, vice president for finance and administration
On first reference to an individual with an academic title, use the academic title after the name. Do not refer to him/her as Dr. in subsequent references. Use his/her name only.
Jane E. Doe, Ph.D., is giving the commencement speech this year. Doe was selected from among the tenured faculty.
Names and titles in a listing, not in a paragraph, are capitalized.
Dr. Charles D. Dunn, President
Mr. Paul Hankins, Vice President for Student Services
Dr. Bob Houston, Vice President for Academic Affairs
Dr. Gary Linn, Dean of School of Business
