Policy on Emeritus Faculty University Benefits Plans Carnegie Mellon University Policy to Provide Retirement Options for Tenured Faculty I. Introduction Carnegie Mellon University has adopted this policy to facilitate the voluntary retirement of tenured faculty. While faculty are not constrained to retire at any particular age, arrangements for retirement are naturally a part of a faculty member's personal and professional planning. The policy provides information, resources and, in some cases, incentives to faculty members that should make financial and retirement planning easier. This policy is aimed as well at promoting the well-being of emeritus faculty and encouraging their continued participation in the Carnegie Mellon academic community. A clear, uniform and fiscally responsible policy is to the overall advantage of both the faculty and the university.
