It's not a hit list. You have to have worked for the University for 25 years to even be eligible for it, and it's completely voluntary.

This has been a program in place for several years now. Its about retirement, not termination.
I know a few folks participating in it and are quite happy with the terms. Nothing to see here.

Like the people with more than the (was it 1.5 or 2.5) years before retirement?
I don't know.
The people who put up with really low pay and no raises; even when COL went up so they were bringing home less money than the previous year.
That said...
This sounds like a good idea to try and get rid of the bloat that infest TAMU with people who have been here but either refuse to retire, or are just short of the ability but really aren't needed; they just can't fire them.
I don't see a problem.

Just a change in career.
a "change in career" does not involve getting screwed out of a third or more of your retirement - especially when you are 55, 60 or older. I hope it never happens to you. Or maybe I do?
quote:"upgrading their skills"....? What a sad comment. An MBA with 30 years experience doesn't need to "upgrade" their skills to flip burgers.
In the last two years, 3 members of my family all in their late 50s lost their jobs. They are busily upgrading their skills and doing whatever it takes to get back into the workforce. Like it or not, this is the world we live in now, and its not going to change any time soon. Older workers need to be flexible in a way they never have had to before. It is what it is.
