Order affects classified employes
Classified employees at the University of Kansas are affected by Gov. Robert Bennett's executive order last week that requires employees to retire for state employees at age 65.
Retention of an employee at age 65 or beyond should be based on the employee's physical and mental condition, his work output and history and on whether retaining the employee is in the best interest of the agency, Bennett or in issuing the order.
Because KU's classified employees are subject to state civil service regulations, they previously had to retire at age 65 unless they received departmental approval to stay on until age 70, Harriette McCaul, director of staff benefits at KU, said.
yesterday. There are about 1,600 classified employees at the University.
MCCAUL said that by abolishing mandatory retirement at age 65, retirement benefits would be greater for many because of the higher cost. It was based on the number of years of service.
"The longer they work, the greater the benefits," she said.
Faculty members, as unclassified employees, do not have to retire until age 70 according to state law, she said, and therefore, are not affected by the order.
"In the past, administrators, according to University policy, have had to relinquish their positions at age 68, but could go on to faculty positions if they wanted," she said.
Jeannette Johnson, administrative assistant to the executive vice chancellor, said that generally, administrators had retired from their administrative posts at age 65 or before and had returned to teaching.
"BUT AT THE discretion of the chancellor, these administrative responsibilities are given to the Secretary."
Because the policy concerning administrators' retirement is an internal policy and is already interpreted liberally, no need to introduce it. However, have little or no effect on the present policy.
The policy states that administrators are to relinquish their duties at age 65 except in unusual circumstances or unless an extension is granted by the chancellor.
Drug council to hire coordinator

The commissioners had said they would not approve the hiring of a new coordinator until the council corrected the problems mentioned in the letter.
THE COUNCIL also proposed to revise its by-laws and procedures to provide direct participation by council members in its programs.
Alan Johnson, council member, told the commissioners that a recent proposal to combine the council with the Douglas County commission on Alcoholism would not be effective.
