Impact on Department Resources
The policy concerning the review of vacant positions by the Provost is unaffected by this program. However, consideration of the effect of this program on resources to address instructional and research needs will be taken into consideration.
After the department chair has reviewed the applications received and examined other resources available to address department needs, the department chair should discuss the situation with his or her dean. The dean will examine the needs across the school/college and address this issue with the Provost. In all cases, the department will have 1/2 of the retiring faculty member's salary to pay that person at half salary for three years. The residual 1/2 salary is subject to review by the dean and Provost.
The department chair cannot deny an application for phased retirement. If more than 25% of the tenured faculty in a department elect to enter the Phased Retirement Program, the dean should be consulted and will be responsible for making a recommendation to the Provost.
