New Hires

The benefits you are eligible for and when they come into effect may depend on the length and type of your faculty appointment, whether you meet minimum salary requirements, and whether you were hired prior to or after your Normal Retirement Date (“NRD”) (i.e. the June 30th or December 31st coincident with or following the date you turn age 65).

If you are an active Faculty member working beyond your NRD, your benefits will change as outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement that was signed by the University and the Faculty Association to place a temporary moratorium on mandatory retirement.
