Professors retiring in big numbers, schools say
bv Kris M. Bergquist

Although retirements of faculty at the University of Kansas have not been increasing from every school and department, in the areas where numbers are big and will probably get bigger.
And Judith Ramaley, executive vice chancellor, said KU was not alone.
"It's a major national concern," Ramaley said. "Across the country, academic leadership is starting to think about replacing large amounts of faculty. We're seeing the first graduates graduating in 2019, and the will really begin in the early 1990s. We're looking for ways to make the transition."
The journalism school, the biological sciences division and the history, chemistry, political science, psychology and computer sciences, have all had the greatest increases in retirements.
Enrollment on the Lawrence campus this spring was 22,163.
"In the next 10 years, roughly a third of our faculty will be gone," said Richard Givens, chairman of the chemistry department. "We have the same number of people in our faculty that we had in 1965, and the enrollment was about 15,000 then."
Last year, the department tried to fill two faculty positions, but only one was filled because of fierce competition from other schools. Givens said.
Outside competition
Norman Saul, chairman of the history department, said the competition was not only from other schools.
"I've noticed that the market is more competitive now," Saul said. "There are more people looking to fill positions. There was a big expansion of universities in the United States after World War II when a lot of faculty came in and now are retiring.
"Also, there are more options outside the University. A lot of people that graduate these days want careers that make money. A lot of our history students are going into law schools."
The history department will have two professors, who have been at KU since the 1950s, retire this year. Last year, two faculty members died and two more resigned, Saul said.
Günner Schläger, chairman of the biological sciences division, said two professors would retire this year, one had retired last year and the other least 19 retirements in the biology department.
"The question is who is going to be teaching in the 1900s," Schlager said. "I think we will be having problems in five years. There is nobodyPipeline coming out, or at least not enough."
The School of Journalism is trying to replace four professors who have been at the school for at least 20 years.
"You hate to lose people with caliber," said Mary Wallace, assistant dean and coordinator of the faculty search committee. "But at the same time, it's exciting to get to hire new people."
Jackie Erlander, Mount Prospect, Ill., junior, said that Mel Adams, associate professor of journalism, was going to be missed in the following sequence. Adams will retire this summer.
"I it's going to make a difference," Erlander said. "I mean, one of his classes is called 'Melements' of Advertising. Everybody has taken it from him. With a lot of quality people leaving, I just hope that it doesn't make the school decline."
In the political science department, James Drury, professor of political science, is retiring after 43 years. He said three faculty members had retired in the last five years.
Dave Dingwell, Arvada, Colo., senior in political science, said that even though the quality had not gone down with the new professors, he did not feel as close to them.
"Once the older professors left, in my class have had to sort of re-adapt to new professors," Dingwell said. "A lot of times, that's hard if you were a professor or one of our professors had different expectations, and you don't know whether it will be the same with the new."
Kathleen McCluskey-Faewett, chairman of the psychology department, said the department had no retirements this year but there are two resignations and two resignations in the past five years.
"This has particularly hurt our ability to offer upper-level classes and graduate-level classes," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "There are about 2,000 people in our general psychology classes. Our classes are closed almost immediately."
Victor Wallace, acting chairman of the computer science department, said that although there were no retirements this year, there had been four in the last two years.
However, he said that the department had been lucky and had hired four people to fill the
positions.
"We don't expect any retirements because we're a relatively young department." Wallace said. "We've worked very hard at getting faculty. Our problem is that we're unable to retain the salary increases to compete with other universities."
No problems yet
Some schools and departments on campus are not experiencing retirement problems right now, such as the schools of fine arts, business law, architecture, education and medicine, anthropology, physics-astronomy, Germanic languages, and French-Italian languages.
Jerry Moore, associate dean of fine arts, said that there were no retirees this year but there probably would be one or two a year in the future. He said the mandatory retirement age was 70. However, after 1984, a federal law on labor will not require mandatory retirement.
"Unless they make early retirement more exciting in Kansas, we're going to have a lot of awfully old faculties." Moore said.
The School of Business has not had many problems with retirements and is not expecting any, said Carol Nalbandian, assistant director of management development programs.
"The business school for the most part is pretty young." Nabandian said. "We're not looking at massive retirements. We're competing with private industry for people in their prime, so for us, retirements have not been the major problem."

OFFICERS HELD FOR ARRAIGNMENT: In a preliminary hearing lasting more than five hours, a KU police officer and an Osage County sheriff's deputy were bound over for arraignment until March 13, an Osage county authority said yesterday.
Cheryl Stewart, Osage County district attorney, said that James Michael Hough, a KU police officer since April, and David Linton, Osage County deputy, had been bound over for arrangement until March 13. Both are free on $10,000 bond.
Hough and Linton are charged with conspiracy, battery and aggravated intimidation of a witness. The aggravated intimidation and conspiracy charges are felonies.
