28,1986  \nVol.14,No.60  \n# COMMISSION REPORT FAVORS MANDATORY RETIREMENT FOR FACULTY\n\nA fixed retirement age is essential to maintaining a sound retirement systemfor college and university personnel,according to a recent report.  \nThe 17-member independent Commission on College Retirement,formed in 1984 toreview college and university retirement programs,has released the first in aseries of reports,which concludes that a fixed retirement date 1s the corner-stone of the tenure system for faculty.  \n\"Without a fixed retirement date,serious questions would arise as to theamount of the pensions that are needed for academic personnel,\"says ThomasWoodruff,executive director of the commission.\"And the development of areasonable pension system could be frustrated.\"  \nFlexibility Urged       The commission emphasizes that the selection of a fixedretirement age should be the decision of the individual institution.However,that fixed date should not preclude early retirement,phased retirement pro-grams or post-retirement employment,the report says,and it urges institutionsto be flexible and innovative in administering a fixed retirement date.  \nThe commission's support of a fixed retirement age comes at a time when contro-versy abounds in Congress and in the higher education community over whether afixed or mandatory retirement age discriminates against the individua1.Ear-lier this year,Rep.Claude Pepper,D-Fla.,introduced a bil1,H.R。4154,whichwould eliminate a mandatory retirement age for all private-sector employees.The current mandatory retirement age is 70(HED,March 13)。  \nReplaces Other Bil1      Pepper introduced H.R。4154--with no exemptions fortenured faculty--to supplant an earlier bil1,H.R。522,in which he had inclu-ded those exemptions,a measure which was supported by the American Associationof University Professors(AAUP)and the American Council on Education.  \nH。R。4154 is gathering_support in Congress,with 50 co-sponsors,according to aPepper staffer,while H.R。522 is virtually dead,she said.Pepper felt that a\"clean bill,\"one with no exemptions,would have greater chance of smooth pas-sage through Congress,she added.H.R.4154 is currently in the House Employ-ment Opportunities Subcommittee where,if approved,it will be reported out tothe full House Education and Labor Committee.  \nAAUP,which opposes lifting a mandatory retirement age,says that such a movewould violate academic freedom and tenure policies of institutions,accordingto Ernst Benjamin,AAUP general secretary.Institutions must be able to retirefaculty at a fixed age to hire younger faculty,he added.(more)  \nS  \n     March 28,1986  \n# COMMISSION REPORT FAVORS MANDATORY RETIREMENT FOR FACULTY(Cont.)\n\nLifting a mandatory retirement age could also force institutions to adopt thefrown policies of having to determine whether a faculty member is\"sick or incom-petent,\"Benjamin added.\"There would be pressure to change the whole system.\"  \nYet such groups as the National Education Association(NEA)and American Feder-ation of Teachers(AFT)both oppose a retirement cap for tenured faculty on thegrounds that it discriminates against professors over 70.  \n\"If a mandatory retirement age is 1ifted,\"says Perry Robinson,AFT director of1ts college and university department,\"university tenured faculty should notbe singled out as the only people who should not be actively working after 70.\"AFT represents 83,000 college faculty.  \nNEA,which represents 70,000 college faculty,concurs with AFT,according to9mDaid+Poisson;2NEA^higher education specialst.\"You don't automatically reachage 70 and stop being effective in the classroom,\"he said.  \nCopies of the report,\"Retirement Ages for College and University Personnel,\"are available free from the Commission on College Retirement,875 Third Ave.New York,N.Y.10022,(212)486-0064.--Jennifer L.Janson  \nCOURT WRESTLES WITH RELIGIOUS SCHOOL's CIVIL
