Indicator 6.2.2Age distribution of ladder and equivalent rank faculty, Universitywide, Fall 1990 and 2010
The faculty workforce is significantly older in 2010 than it was in 1990.
Before 1994, UC and many other colleges and universities mandated that tenured faculty retire at age 70. Starting in 1994, this was no longer permissible under federal age discrimination statutes. As a result, in 2010, 714, or about 7.5 percent, of UC's ladder- and equivalent-rank faculty are age 70 or above. A total of 41 percent in 2010 were older than 55, compared to 28 percent in 1990.
The age profile shows that separations can be expected to continue at a high level for some time to come.
