The mandatory retirement age of
all employees of the Texas A&M
University System, except for te
nured faculty members, will be
boosted from 65 to 70 on Jan. 1.
Some professors say they feel that
exception is discriminatory.
Dr. Donald S. Moore, a retired
agriculture economics professor,
said retirement age should depend
on the physical and mental health of
the teacher.
He also said that he feels teachers
have been discriminated against by
the new policy. “I think teachers
should have the same alternatives as
everyone else, he said.
Dr. J.A. Dabbs, a professor of
modern languages who is near re
tirement age, said retirement age
should depend on the individual
teacher.
Dr. Carl Landiss, 65, head of the
Health and Physical Education De
partment, said he agrees with 65 as
the age to retire, but that it should
depend on the individual.
He said that positions held by re
tirement aged people should be
opened up for younger people. “I
don’t feel bad about not staying on
fulltime,” Landiss said.
He added that he thought part-
time positions were good because it
created a transitional period from
fulltime work to fulltime retirement.
Landiss said he thought non-
tenured professors were allowed to
work longer because they do not
have to motivate students or show as
much enthusiasm as teachers.
Tenure of faculty members is de
termined by such things as area of
specialization, level of teaching and
researching skills, and compatability
with students and other faculty.
Tenured employees will have to
retire at age 65 until July 1, 1982.
They will be allowed to work part-
time or fulltime until they become
70 if approved by the administration.
