MSU-Bozeman
There is a retirement crisis of vast proportions within MUS and yet nobody seems to be even noticing. While the majority of tenured faculty in the Montana University System are likely eligible for retirement, very few are actually giving up their tenured positions. Hard data are difficult to come by, but my institution, Montana State, probably reflects what is going on system-wide. There are 460 tenured or tenure track faculty currently at MSU. Based on age and length of service it is probable that over 50% qualify for a pension under either the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) or TIAA-CREF provisions. Yet last year (FY2013) only 12 professors gave up their tenure and actually retired from MSU.
The problem is double-edged. A huge number of faculty were hired during the expansion of colleges and universities in the late 1960s and early 1970s and these individuals are now eligible for retirement. At the same time, there is a large pool of well trained PhDs biding their time in post-doctorates or teaching as adjuncts while awaiting the freeing up of tenure track positions. All universities depend upon the infusion of energy, current training, and new advances in knowledge and techniques from their junior faculty. Yet, at the same time, the senior faculty seem increasingly reluctant to retire. However, if all the faculty currently eligible to retire were to pull the plug at the same time, the loss of institutional knowledge and experience could prove to be catastrophic. There is a desperate need for planning for these impending transitions but no indication that anyone in the Montana university system is doing so. The purpose of this article is to outline in detail how these problems are currently affecting the university and to suggest possible solutions.
For University faculty, mandatory retirement ended in 1994. This is what keeps university presidents up late at night as they try to figure out how they might encourage their senior faulty to retire, "freshen" their staff with new recruits, and manage their payroll expenses. As it stands now, tenured faculty, no matter their age, can only be forced to retire for cause—provable incompetence or moral turpitude. Needless to say, termination for cause is extremely rare.
The eligibility standards for retirement and for continuation under the MUS Health Insurance Plans are slightly different. One is eligible for a full retirement with the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) with 25 years of creditable service at any age or 5 years of service at age 60. There are provisions for early retirement under TRS at reduced benefits. With the TIAA-CREF regular retirement plan, withdrawals can begin at age 59 1/2 regardless of years of service. IRS tax regulations do allow for earlier withdrawals without the 10% penalty in certain circumstances after age 55. In order to continue with the MUS Health Insurance Plans one must be age 50 and have 5 years of service. Under these standards we estimate that roughly 50% of tenured or tenure track faculty are eligible to retire at the present time. One must, of course, give up tenure and terminate service in order to qualify for any of these retirement benefits.
According to a recent study conducted by Fidelity Investments of higher education faculty, "some 74 percent of professors aged 49-67 plan to delay retirement past age 65 or never retire at all" (Ragnoni, 2013). Their reasons are both economic and personal:
(Note: Those surveyed could list multiple reasons.)
Economic concerns (total) 69%
Personal/professional reasons (total) 81%
We will address each of these reasons in turn and suggest possible solutions that the MUS might institute to turn these reluctant warriors into happy and productive retirees willing to continue to contribute their skills and knowledge to their home institutions.
The market meltdown in 2008 and the recession which followed no doubt left the MUS faculty wishing that they had access to or had remained in the defined benefit plan administered by TRS. Remember that since 1993 the so-called Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) with TIAA-CREF has been no longer optional and all new hires were required to participate. Only 35 of 460 tenure track faculty remain in TRS on the MSU campus. Other units of MUS likely have similar ratios. This means that the vast majority of MUS faculty are now subject to the vagaries of the financial markets when it comes to planning for their retirement. Another meltdown such as the one we recently experienced could prove devastating to the recently retired or delay plans for those anticipating retirement. Of course, the recent recovery of the financial markets makes these considerations less a factor in retirement planning than they might have been just a few years ago.
Most MUS employees are eligible for Social Security Benefits upon retirement. While it is possible to begin withdrawals as early as age 62, the reductions in benefits are considerable and continue the remainder of your life. If you choose to retire at 62, for example, and your "full retirement age " is 66, you will face a 25% reduction in benefits for as long as you live. "Full retirement age" is 65 for those born before1938 and increases incrementally to age 67 for those born in 1960 or later. Most MUS faculty approaching retirement likely have a full retirement age of 66 (for those born between 1943 and 1954). Benefits increase 2% a year for each year that you delay taking Social Security after you reach your full retirement age. Benefits are capped at age 70. Your annual Social Security statement gives you an estimate of these various options on an individual basis. It should be obvious that the way that Social Security is structured gives our faculty powerful economic incentives to delay retirement as long as possible even up to age 70.
One of the greatest disincentives to retirement in recent years is the concern of our staff about future healthcare costs. A recent study by the TIAA-CREF Institute details this concern:
Forty-two percent of near-retirees in higher education are very concerned about being unable to afford good health care in retirement, with an additional 29% somewhat concerned. In fact, near-retirees are more concerned about health care than with other issues they will face in retirement—by comparison, 33% are very concerned about having enough money to retire when planned and 22% are very concerned about outliving their savings in retirement. (Yakoboski, December 2009)
The reason that healthcare costs loom so large in the retirement decision is that they are so hard to predict. None of our staff can know if they will need long-term care at the end of their lives or for how long this expensive care might be needed. Studies suggest that fully 25% of all seniors will end up sometime in their lives in an assisted living facility. Long-term care insurance is expensive and provides only partial protection in most cases. Furthermore, the effects of the Affordable Healthcare Act on medical insurance costs are unknown at the present time. The bottom line is that healthcare costs are the hardest factor to plan for in retirement.
The MUS staff are wise to be concerned about these future medical costs. Estimates from a variety of sources suggest that the out-of-pocket health care costs for an average retiree from age 65 until death will likely exceed a quarter of a million dollars and that amount should be doubled for a couple. A Society of Actuaries study provides the details:
The future health care needs for a retiree vary by the retiree's current age and their expected lifetime, but are estimated to be about $146,400 for someone currently age 65 with an average expected lifetime of 20 years ($292,800 for a couple of the same age). That amount includes health care costs not paid for by the federal government through the Medicare program (including Medicare Parts B and C premiums). If they think they will live until age 90 (25 years instead of 20 years) they will need $220,600 (or $441,200 for a couple). These amounts are for the "average" retiree and do not include long term care costs that some retirees may incur. (Yamamoto, June 2013)
"Average" in the data above are for a retiree in reasonable good health with no serious health problems going into retirement. The estimate for those in poor health at retirement would be considerably higher. Remember that Medicare does not typically cover long-term care and these costs are not included in estimates above.
So the question then becomes: how well does MUS protect its retirees' health care needs after they leave the System? The honest answer would be: not very well. A current TIAA-CREF study found that 90% of all universities give continuing access to their health care plan to their retirees. The Montana University System does allow continuing coverage after 5 years of service, but it is a one-way gate. If the retiree leaves the plan for any reason whatsoever (coverage by a spouse, a more affordable plan elsewhere, etc.), they can never be readmitted to the plan. Moreover, 13% of universities nationwide cover the cost of the health insurance premium entirely and 49% share the cost with the individual retiree. MUS is among only a third of universities that make no contribution to their retirees' health care costs at all (Yakoboski and Conley, 2013).
The costs to retirees for remaining on the MUS medical plan are not trivial. Early retirees before Medicare eligibility at age 65 face very high premiums. Presently in FY 2014 an individual faces a monthly premium of $591 to $687 depending upon the plan chosen, and a couple faces $623 to $1073 in premiums, again depending upon the plan selected and whether or nor the spouse is Medicare eligible. Costs are considerably reduced for Medicare eligible retirees since Medicare covers much of the liability. An over-65 retiree will see monthly premiums range from $180 to $291. Medicare eligible retirees will face premiums from $360 to $699 to cover themselves and their spouses, again depending on the plan and whether the spouse is Medicare eligible. Added to all of these costs are premiums for dental and vision coverage if selected and a $104.90 premium per individual per month for Medicare Plan B coverage.
Any faculty member anticipating retirement should make an honest estimate of their total annual costs for healthcare insurance based on their individual circumstances. Most will see that since MUS makes no contribution to their post-retirement premiums and since these premiums are quite costly, many might consider delaying retirement in order to continue to benefit from the State contribution. In fairness it must be said that the MUS medical plan provides excellent coverage and all employees would be wise to continue on the plan after retirement if they can afford the costs. However, these high medical premiums no doubt provide strong disincentives to retirement especially for those younger than age 65.
As we have seen, the main economic drivers for delaying retirement are threefold: worries about the adequacy of retirement savings, the desire to maximize Social Security benefits, and medical insecurity. The only way to address these economic concerns is with financial tools and in that realm the University System has very limited resources at its disposal. Typically most universities nationwide offer some kind of early retirement incentives to make room for new hires. These usually come in the form of retirement bonuses, service credit, or other forms of buyouts.
System-wide retirement incentive programs are common nationwide but rare in Montana. Since 2007, 61% of all institutions have offered an early retirement buyout to their full-time faculty (Yakoboski and Conley, 2013). The last time that such a buyout plan was offered to MUS faculty was several decades ago. The frugal nature of the Montana Legislature is only part of the reason that such buyout offers are no longer tendered. Such early retirement incentive programs are not very effective and frequently result in serious unintended consequences. Often the most productive and still marketable faculty members accept the incentives and move on to another institution to finish their careers, while less productive faculty remain. Such retirement incentives can result in a net loss to the institution.
Nor are the salary savings to the Montana University System all that great. There is considerable salary compression system-wide so the differentials between a senior faculty member's pay and what it takes to hire a junior staff member at market are not all that great. Furthermore, upon retirement the institution is obligated to come up with termination pay for the retiring senior staff member. For a long-term professor such termination pay might be in the $20,000 to $30,000 range or sometimes even more. Most departments or colleges have no set-asides for these costs, and termination pay ends up being an unfunded liability. Often the only way that these termination costs can be covered is through "vacancy savings," leaving the position open for a year or two while these termination costs are covered. Obviously, this is far from an ideal solution for an institution trying to maintain the integrity of its programs. The bottom line is that system-wide retirement incentive programs rarely work as planned and often result in very negative consequences to the institutions and their programs.
While most long-term faculty members have never seen a MUS system-wide retirement incentive program, all have witnessed buyouts on an individual level. Following the sometimes used principle that "no bad deed goes unrewarded," particularly unproductive or troublesome faculty members are sometimes offered financial incentives to give up tenure and retire. To be fair, the institution and its programs often benefit from such individual buyouts and a burned out and disillusioned faculty member might benefit as well.
MUS has limited financial resources that can be used to encourage retirement and economic incentives are not particularly effective anyway. There are good reasons for this. As the Fidelity study indicated, while economic concerns are important in retirement decisions, personal and professional factors play a larger role (Flaherty, June 2013). Professors as a whole want to stay busy and productive (89%), love the work too much to give it up (64%), and want continued access to and affiliation with their institutions (41%). Obviously, purely economic incentives completely fail to address these concerns. There are other strategies, however, that can be used to encourage retirement to the benefit of both the retirees themselves and their institutions.
Many MUS retirees has been frustrated at the retirement process. Often they are given limited information about the procedures that must be followed, forms that must be filled out, and rights and privileges they might enjoy after they give up tenure. As the day approaches, they are simply asked to clean out their offices and laboratories and turn in their keys. After a lifetime of service to the university, they are made to feel all of a sudden like non-entities with nothing more to contribute to their home institutions. This often leaves these retirees disillusioned and angry. A survey done some years ago by the MSU Association of Retired Faculty (ARF) indicated that these feelings were widespread among recent retirees. The sad thing is that with proper procedures and flexible paths to retirement, these negative results do not need to be.
Most institutions nationwide use some mixture of the following programs to address the non-economic personal and professional concerns that often delay the retirement decision: phased retirement plans, post-retirement agreements, emeritus status, enhanced retiree rights and privileges, and emeritus colleges. Each of these programs will be looked at in turn and MUS procedures compared to national standards. What will become abundantly clear is that these programs, if properly structured, can potentially provide great benefits to both the retirees themselves and their home institutions.
Many professors at the end of their careers are not looking to stop working completely but rather seek more time to pursue other interests, to travel more widely, or to spend more time with their children and grandchildren. What they face instead is a Sophie's Choice: a full-time position even more time demanding at the end of careers than ever or complete disengagement from a field they have dedicated their lives to. Since neither option is very appealing, many reluctantly delay retirement. Others simply decide to "retire in place" by making the minimum commitment to their profession so that they have time to pursue other interests—obviously neither is a beneficial outcome for the university nor the faculty member. A well-structured phased retirement program with flexible post-retirement agreements can go a long way to prevent these negative outcomes.
Nationally 39% of institutions identified in a recent TIAA-CREF poll reported offering a phased retirement program for its tenured faculty. Eligibility was based on a combination of age and service with age 60 and 10 years of service the typical minimum requirements. Phased retirement programs were almost never offered as entitlements but as options which required administrative approval. The maximum phase period was usually three years. Time commitments ranged from full time to one-quarter time during the phase period and the work could be spread over one term or a full academic year. Specific provisions were negotiated and formalized in a post-retirement contract, and the faculty member was required to give up tenure before beginning the phase period. During the phase period, 83% of institutions contributed to the health insurance premium, 61 % allowed for partial retirement benefits in addition to salary, and 36% provided extra retirement plan contributions or credits (Yakoboski and Conley, 2013).
The Board of Regents has set the general policies for post-retirement employment in the Montana University System, and TIAA-CREF and the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) have set the maximum salary levels after taking retirement benefits. A post-retirement contract is subject to administrative approval and can be written for a maximum of three years. The faculty member relinquishes tenure and undergoes annual reviews during the post-retirement contract. The work can be for one term or spread over an entire fiscal year. The contract must be in writing and can be terminated for cause or financial exigency (MUS Policy 360.00, December 1999). Under TRS, salary is capped at one-third of the retiree's final average salary. TIAA-CREF allows employment up to .49 FTE. The University makes no contribution to the retiree's health care premium.
Ideally a post retirement contract can be of great benefit to both the individual retiree and the University. The retiree continues his professional life but on a reduced level and gains time to pursue other interests. The University has the services of a senior staff member with all of the experience and institutional knowledge that has accrued over an entire career but at a reduced cost. In the technical fields the retiree has the opportunity to mentor his younger replacement and pass his institutional and local knowledge on to his junior colleague. The transition is made easier and the specialized programs are able to maintain their continuity. Everyone benefits.
While this may be the ideal, in practice this scenario almost never plays out. The cost of termination pay and the lack of set-asides for these known expenses are the primary reasons for this. Often the only way that a department or college can cover the costs of termination pay is to delay replacing the retiring faculty member and use the vacancy savings that result to cover termination expenses. The lack of overlap between senior faculty members and their replacements that results from this strategy obviously negatively impacts program continuity and senior staff mentoring. The chain of expertise is broken and much institutional knowledge walks out the door—never to be recovered.
This same problem of funding retirement results in few post-retirement agreements given approval by the administration. Deans and department chairs facing an impending retirement know that they must not only cover the costs of termination pay but the expenses of recruitment for a new hire. To add a post-retirement contract to the mix often breaks the bank. To fund such a contract might well delay the replacement hire by a year or two. For this reason administrators are very reluctant to approve phased retirement agreements. In fact some Deans at MSU have said publicly that they would never approve a post-retirement contract regardless of its merits. The only way that MUS can make phased retirement a viable option for those reluctant to give up tenure is to address the problem of these unfunded liabilities directly. Termination pay and recruitment costs are known future expenses and budgets must be structured to accommodate these liabilities. Otherwise, the post-retirement employment policy will remain on the books but rarely be used to encourage senior staff to transition into retirement.
Regulations need to be changed as well to allow for more flexibility in post-retirement employment. As it stands now, research professors, as one example, are not permitted to go down to two thirds or half-time work even though they may hold grants that would fully cover their salary and medical benefits at no cost to the University. There are many hands in the post-retirement regulatory stew: TRS, MUS and its agreements with TIAA-CREF, Montana statute, Board of Regents policies, Federal and State labor laws, and even the IRS. Change, however ponderous, is still possible and should begin before the impending wave of retirement hits the shore of inertia. Otherwise, post-retirement is a policy that will exist largely on paper.
A well-structured emeritus policy with a rich portfolio of rights and privileges can go a long way in addressing those personal and professional concerns of faculty nearing retirement. Board of Regents policy dictates the general outlines of emeritus designation upon retirement (MUS Policy 350.00, December 1999). The retiree must be nominated by the President or Chancellor of the home institution. Final approval rests with the Board of Regents. Each campus is free to develop the specific criteria for such nominations and the rights and privileges that accrue from emeritus designation.
MSU-Bozeman policies are typical of those that apply to other campuses in the System (MSU-Bozeman Policy 352.00, May 2011). A nominee must have achieved the rank of Associate Professor or higher and have served the university a minimum of 10 years as a tenured faculty member. Administrators can have the honor of emeritus status bestowed upon them at retirement as well ("Dean Emeritus," "President Emeritus," etc.). Currently, adjunct faculty and non-tenured research faculty are not eligible for emeritus status even though they have met the service requirements. This may be about to change as the MSU Faculty Senate recently voted to include these two groups in the emeritus eligibility standards. The faculty member must request emeritus status six months before or no later than three years after retirement. The letter of nomination proceeds though all of the administrative levels and gains final approval from the Board of Regents.
The current rights and privileges accorded emeritus faculty vary somewhat from campus to campus. MSU policies give their emeritus faculty the following benefits:
Emeritus status shall entail continued campus courtesies including, but not necessarily limited to, the options to:
Note: Any or all privileges granted emeritus faculty may be rescinded should it become necessary to do so. (MSU-Bozeman Policy 352.00, May 2011)
In addition to the specific privileges enjoyed by emeriti listed above, all retired employees at MSU enjoy free parking permits and access to wellness programs, recreational facilities, and Outdoor Recreation Center programs and equipment. Retirees are sometimes offered reduced tickets to on-campus sporting events, plays, and concerts as well.
Roger Baldwin, professor of educational administration at Michigan State University, has studied retired faculty organizations and points out that "while such organizations can vary in their level of activity, they can be effective in giving professors a sense of purpose and identity following retirement.... I think many people are delaying retirement because there are no clear options as to how they're going to continue an intellectually fulfilling life once they 'drop off a cliff'" (Baldwin and Zeig, 2012). Retired Faculty Organizations (RFOs) exist nationwide to offer retirees continuing opportunities for learning, to maintain their social and professional ties with their institutions, to support their continued academic engagement and scholarly productivity, and to provide emeriti with opportunities for service to their institutions, communities, and professions. Baldwin and Zeig draw the following conclusions from their nationwide assessment of RFOs: "Healthy, productive professors deserve the opportunity to continue learning and serving even while they make way for new colleagues to enter the profession, and colleges and universities can benefit from the teaching, mentoring, and many forms of service emeritus faculty can continue to provide" (2012).
The Association of Retired Faculty (ARF) at MSU was founded a decade ago and has provided many services to the university during this time. Members have continued to teach, to serve as principal investigators on research grants, to mentor junior faculty and students, to serve on departmental and college-wide committees, to provide pre-retirement and benefits workshops and advising, to offer informative monthly bag lunch presentations on a variety of topics, and to volunteer their services widely to the campus and community. ARF is currently drafting a proposal for the establishment of an Emeritus College on the MSU campus (www.montana.edu/retired/). The University of Montana has a similar Retirees' Association that offers comparable activities and services (www.umt.edu/retirees/).
One idea that is gaining traction in making the role of emeriti faculty more meaningful and engaged is the establishment of emeritus colleges.
"Emeritus colleges are attractive to a growing number of institutions for their potential to make more meaningful the honorary but often hollow rank of 'emeritus' professor and offer a 'renegotiated' path to retirement to faculty in general," said Roger Baldwin, a professor of higher, adult and lifelong education at Michigan State University (Flaherty, October 2013).
Several such colleges have been established in the last decade, and most seem to follow similar models. A dean of the Emeritus College is appointed and reports directly to the chief academic officer. This Dean is usually retired and typically serves without pay or with a very modest salary. All emeriti from the institution are appointed as faculty of the emeritus college, and often the staff is enriched with emeritus professors from other institutions who live in the area. The college is housed in a building on campus or in a home just off campus. Parking and access are critical considerations for this group of aging faculty. Office space, meeting rooms, computers, and internet are provided to the staff, and typically a part-time secretary handles the administrative duties. Arizona State University, one of the first to establish an emeritus college, provides diverse and extensive opportunities for its retirees (emerituscollege.asu.edu). Emory University also developed another very successful model of what an emeritus college can be (www.emory.edu/emeritus/).
Emeritus colleges are far more than retired faculty clubs. While opportunities to meet and engage in stimulating conversation with colleagues are no doubt important to retirees, emeritus colleges go far beyond this. They support ongoing research and sponsor symposia and lectures on topics of current interest. Many sponsor courses and a few emeritus colleges even publish their own journals. They coordinate mentoring activities with junior faculty and students and volunteer opportunities on their campuses and within their communities. Speaker bureaus are often established to offer guest lectures on a variety of topics to classes and community organizations. Many emeriti continue to teach and serve on campus committees. The emeritus college provides a professional home for these individuals who frequently have had their offices and laboratories stripped from them upon retirement (Balwin and Zeig, 2012).
The impending wave of retirements are going to hit the shores of MUS whether we plan for this tsunami or not. The current procedures available to those transitioning into retirement are often inadequate to meet both their economic needs and their continuing professional aspirations. When a tenured professor leaves the academy embittered and disillusioned as a result of this process, both the individual and the university lose. In their article "Utilizing America's Most Wasted Resource" (2007), Robert Diamond and Merle Allshouse point out the obvious: "In most university and college communities there is a growing pool of talented retired or transitioning individuals who would like nothing more than to make a difference by using their knowledge and experience to improve their communities and institutions while continuing the process of their own personal development." We could not agree more.
What, then, can the MUS do to turn these professors so reluctant to retire into productive latter-day academics eager to continue to grow and to contribute to their home institutions after they relinquish tenure? On the economic side there is realistically little that might be possible given the frugal nature of the Montana Legislature. System-wide retirement buyouts are expensive and rarely effective. The current plans in process to simplify MUS's regular and supplemental retirement plans might offer better options to current employees and enhance their retirement funds in the long run. These welcomed reforms will have little effect, however, on those now approaching retirement. Better advising about investment options and retirement planning would certainly be of benefit to all. Finally, modest contributions to benefits premiums might help with the medical insecurity that most retirees face, but again this is unlikely in the current political climate.
Non-economic retirement incentives are likely to be the most feasible and effective options. Budgeting for the known costs of termination pay and recruitment expenses would go a long way toward helping fund post-retirement contracts in a way other than "vacancy savings." Phased retirement agreements need to be made more flexible than current regulations allow in order to accommodate an increasing variety of career paths and appointments. Emeritus status should be awarded to all faculty retirees with 10 or more years of service regardless of the nature of their appointment (tenured, adjunct, or research). The rights and privileges of emeriti faculty need to be enhanced. Institutions should support retired faculty associations on each of the campuses. Ideally, emeritus colleges should be established and funded at the major institutions (UM and MSU at a minimum). If the Montana University System were to institute some of these reforms, both the individual retiree and the institution would stand to gain. Then the reluctant professor can walk confidently through the retirement door knowing there is professional life on the other side.
