Guidelines for use by the College of the Retention Incentive Plan

Minutes of the Policy Committee, College of Arts and Sciences
23, April 1999

Guidelines for use by the College of the Retention Incentive Plan for 18-20 Retirement Plan-eligible College Faculty (as outlined in the memo from the Dean of Faculties, Sept. 25, 1998)

1. The Dean will consider requests for 18-20 retention offers that are brought forward to him by Department Chairs.

2. The Dean will base 18-20 retention offers on consideration of the research, teaching, and financial needs of the College.

3. The Dean will consult with the elected College Policy Committee on 18-20 retention offers that are proposed. However, the decision as to whether a retention offer will be made rests with the Dean. It is anticipated that there will be relatively few 18-20 retention offers made.

4. Offers for 18-20 retention will usually be made for one year at a time.
