As the age of the population continues to increase, faculty retirement issues are becoming more central to campus-level planning and management. Academic planners and senior administrators recognize that there are positive, negative, and unintended consequences associated with various retirement programs and policies, whether they are early retirement incentive programs or policies that stipulate standard program benefits that accrue to individuals who retire. Much of the research that sets the tone for these conversations focuses on 4-year institutions (e.g., Lozier & Dooris, 1991; Montgomery, 1989; Rees & Smith, 1991). This study focuses on faculty retirement issues in public 2-year institutions. (Contains 6 tables and 6 figures.)
