UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Office of
The Chancellor June 20, 1940

TO DEANS AND HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS;

Some months ago at the request of this
office a committee of deans in the University made
a study of the matter of retirement from administrative
duties. The various deans have met with me for the pur-
pose of further discussion of this problem.

Upon their recommendation, and in light of
the general approval of a retirement plan as shown in
the minutes of the Senate for May 20, 1935, the following
policy will go into effect as of July 1, 19413

Academic administrative officers--deans and
department heads--shall retire at sixty-five from
their administrative duties but carry on full
teaching loads thereafter;--except that on the
initiative of the Chancellor in exceptional cir-
cumstances the individual may be continued in
administrative work for a year at a time up to
age seventy.

DEANE W. MALOTT,
Chancellor
