Palmer, Stacy E. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1986
Federal legislation effective in 1994 bars colleges and universities from forcing tenured faculty to retire at age 70. Reactions of unions and professional associations, a required study of the law's impact, and a related measure requiring institutions to continue contributions to pension plans of over-65 workers are discussed.
