"I do recognize that the pressures on our junior faculty have not decreased over the last decade," Knowles said. "I do recognize that the expectation of departments and disciplines have risen."
"This is a splendid major first statement of support [for public service]," Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Jeremy R. Knowles said in an interview yesterday.
More than 50 of the 700 plus members of the FAS are over the age of 65, as compared to five in the Education School, four in the Divinity School and five at the Law School, according to FAS Dean Jeremy R. Knowles.
FAS also allows professors to participate at half-time status at half their salary for up to two years as a transition to retirement, according to Knowles.
"In the FAS we certainly hope that the new steady state (post-no-mandatory-retirement) will not mean a significantly older faculty on average," Knowles says in a written statement. "...We want to maintain vibrancy, new energy and new approaches, in all FAS departments."
