Johnson, Hans; Mejia, Marisol Cuellar – Public Policy Institute of California, 2020
This is the technical appendices for the report, "Higher Education and Economic Opportunity in California."

Carnevale, Anthony P.; Smith, Nicole; Stone, James R., III; Kotamraju, Pradeep; Steuernagel, Bruce; Green, Kimberly A. – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2011
Going directly from high school to college is not possible for everyone. Many who go to college will not do so straight out of high school, and many more need to work to pay for college. Good jobs for people without college degrees certainly still exist, although they are on a steady decline as computers and related technology take over routine…

Holden, Karen C.; Hansen, W. Lee – New Directions for Higher Education, 1989
Uncapping the mandatory retirement age is unlikely to alter retirement age by much, but it will lead to substantially higher pensions for faculty members who continue to work. Institutions must monitor retirement-age behavior in order to restructure pension and other benefits appropriately to meet income and retirement objectives. (Author/MSE)

Burkhauser, Richard V.; Quinn, Joseph F. – New Directions for Higher Education, 1989
An analysis of the impact of increasing the minimum mandatory retirement age on the retirement patterns of older adults across the entire economy suggests that because of the strong disincentives to work embedded in social security and many employee pensions, most workers will continue to retire in their early sixties.

Holden, Karen C.; Hansen, W. Lee – New Directions for Higher Education, 1989
A study of the historical connection between pension, mandatory retirement age, and retirement behavior in higher education suggests that raising the mandatory retirement age from 65 to 70 will have relatively small, short-term effects on the retirement timing of tenured faculty members.

Ruebhausen, Oscar M. – New Directions for Higher Education, 1989
Tenure arrangements are long-term contracts. If their duration is clear, they will protect academic freedom, provide institutions with the flexibility needed to meet changing circumstances, and comply with age-discrimination laws. Policy for the termination of tenure must be redesigned to satisfy competing needs and goals. (Author/MSE)
