This four-part report on the characteristics of faculty, administrators, and other professional staff employed in the Connecticut State Technical College (CSTC) system analyzes age distributions, years of service, salary, sick and vacation day accrual, retirement status, and staffing changes anticipated over the next five years. Part I provides an analysis of current age patterns among faculty and professional staff, including a systemwide overview of age distributions; a comparison of age distributions among administrators, faculty/librarians, and counselors/professional non-faculty members; and distributions by college. Part II examines five additional variables which, along with age, affect retirement: (1) years of service with the CSTC system; (2) total years of state service, including years with the CSTC system; (3) salary; (4) sick day accruals; and (5) vacation accruals. Part III focuses on the potential for retirements among the non-classified staff who are currently satisfying the criteria for "normal" retirement and those who qualify for early retirement. This section calculates the cost for accrued sick and vacation time, and examines the impact on the system, its component campuses, and individual academic departments. The final section examines the pattern of individuals becoming eligible for retirement in the 5-year period from 1988-89 through 1992-93. Recommendations are included. (EJV)
