Phased Retirement Program for Tenured Faculty
** Note: Letters containing detailed program information and application instructions were sent by campus mail to eligible faculty by the Office of the Provost on September 28, 2007. **
General Information
The University of North Carolina Phased Retirement Program is designed to provide an opportunity for eligible full-time tenured faculty members to make an orderly transition to retirement through half-time (or equivalent) service. The goals of the Program are to promote renewal of the professoriate in order to ensure institutional vitality and to provide additional flexibility and support for individual faculty members who are nearing retirement. The Program is entirely voluntary and will be entered into by a written agreement between an Eligible Faculty Member and the institution.
Faculty members who enter the Phased Retirement Program retain their professional rank and the full range of responsibilities and rights associated with that rank as described in the Faculty Code (except for the status of permanent tenure). In addition, departments and schools are encouraged to extend full departmental rights and benefits to faculty in the program on those matters not specified in the Faculty Code. Enrolling Eligible Faculty Members may elect to begin receiving the benefits they have accrued under either the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System or the Optional Retirement System, but they are not required to do so.
