E
UNIVERSITY STAFF
RETIREMENT PLAN
Nebraska Faculty Members
Will Retire at Age 70
On Half Salary.
A retirement plan that eventu
ally will provide for faculty re
tirement at age 70 was approved
by the university board of regents
Saturday. As set up, the plan goes
into effect in 1936 and will retire
at half salary all faculty members,
research workers, and administra
tive employees who have reached
age 75. In future years the age
limit will be reduced one year an
nually until the 1941-42 faculty
members will be retired at 70 years
of age.
Provision was made in the plan
that faculty members with at
least 25 years of service who have
reached age 65 or are incapaci
tated for full time service may
also be subject to this plan. The
regents reserved the right to re
tain faculty members on active
service if the best interests of the
institution so demand.
Schools Have Plans.
Up to this time the University
of Nebraska has never had any
comprehensive retirement plan,
judging each case on its individual
merits. Most colleges and univer
sities, however, have such a plan,
Chancellor Burnett pointed out.
He referred to such schools as
Illinois, Kentucky, Yale, Harvard.
Minnesota, and Nevada which
have a similar plan. Most other
schools have systems that accom
plish the same results.
