USE OF OFFICES, LABORATORIES, AND STUDIES BY RETIRED FACULTY MEMBERS

The President reported on the need for a statement of policy governing the use of offices,
laboratories, and studies by retired faculty members. This problem will become increasingly acute
as the University grows and office and laboratory space becomes more restricted. This matter was
considered by the Academic Deans at a meeting with the President on 16 December 1963, and the consensus
was that a University-wide policy was needed under which a retiring faculty member would
automatically release all space he occupied at the time of retirement. If space was available after
the needs of the school were met, the Dean would then assign space for a period of one year with
renewals permitted

To effectuate this policy, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
effective 1 July 1964, all University space occupied by retiring faculty members shall be released
as of the effective date of the retirement, provided, however, that the Dean of the College or
School concerned may, after all requirements of the College or School have been met, assign space
to retired faculty members for a period not to exceed one year with annual renewals being permitted
subject to the same condition
