Ending Mandatory Retirement in the Arts and Sciences
American Economic Review
2016
mandatory retirement for tenured faculty (uncapping) which was enacted in the 1986 amendments to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) will take effect. This grace period between enactment and effective dates was a response to the concerns that have been regularly expressed by educational administrators such as Rosovsky. In the congressional debate concerning the impact of uncapping on the retirement behavior of tenured faculty and the implications of any behavioral changes for the vitality of higher education, it was concluded that this delay would allow time for study, adjustment, and the opportunity to request a permanent exemption, if necessary.
