RETIREMENT POLICY FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES

In connection with the resolution just passed, the President noted that the community colleges
of the University had been established since 1955 and that the same retirement policy should prevail
for those colleges as for the divisions at Charlottesville.

Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, effective 1 September 1962, the age of 70 be and it is hereby prescribed as the mandatory
retirement age for members of the faculty at Clinch Valley College, George Mason College, and such
other community colleges as may be established in the future, that, upon the initiative either of
the President or of the professor concerned, any professor aged 65 or over may be retired or may
have his teaching load, and proportionately his compensation, reduced to an amount that is
appropriate in each particular case,

RESOLVED further that the age of 65 be and it is hereby fixed as the retirement age for the
Chancellor for Community Colleges, directors, and other administrative officers, and that deans and
chairmen of departments be retired at age 65 from their administrative positions even though their
teaching duties may continue either in whole or in part, and

RESOLVED further that the community colleges' retirement policy as set forth in this resolution
shall be presented to future employees of the colleges at the time of election or appointment and
accepted by them as a condition of employment.
