Mandatory retirement age for professors discussed By Sandy Johnstone Of th* Emerald Academic professors would retire at about the same time even if the mandatory retirement age were lifted, said Jeanne Bader, director of the Center for Gerontology, at a meeting Saturday "There is no evidence large numbers of faculty will remain on the job," she told some 50 people who attended the meeting sponsored by the American Association of University Profes sors Bader was joined by Joanne Carlson, acting vice provost for academic affairs, James McGof fin, director of the Public Employees Retirement Board, and Lester Stickler, professor of Business Administration at Oregon State University, in a panel discussion focusing on "Uncapping Man datory Retirement: Implications for Older and Younger Faculty ” Strickler says lifting the mandatory retirement age makes some people feel "we've got to move the old geezers out.” He says people are afraid institutions will be "stuck with the old folks.” The present federal mandatory retirement age is 70 On July 1, the mandatory retirement age for tenured faculty changed from age 65 to age 70 when the 1978 amendments to the Age Di scrimination in Employment Act expired Bader said the AAUP unfortunately as sociates tenure with mandatory retirement and assumes the whole tenure system would be ruined by lifting the mandatory retirement age The AAUP presumes some faculty would remain teaching longer which would decrease openings, according to Bader Encouraging early retirement allows an insti tution more flexibility in staffing and in dealing with budget problems, said Carlson She opposed lifting the mandatory retirement age to 70 Carlson said the incentive program spon sored by the University promotes the advantages of early retirement. The system allows professors between the ages of 55 and 65 to opt for a plan allowing a 6 percent increase in salary and giving them three years of guaranteed full-time work, followed by five years of part-time work "The incentive plan provides the institution with flexibility and allows us to bring in younger faculty," said Carlson Both Bader and McGoffin said faculty should be subject to the same performance reviews as employees in other businesses. "The thing (performance reviews) we teach others to do and get rich at we are unwilling to have people do to ourselves," said Bader She insisted tenure would not necessarily be affected by performance reviews Make your own kind of movie By Lisa Erb Of tt>« Emerald Can’t find your niche as a star on a prime-time situation comedy?
