Retirement Teaching Option
The purpose of the TWU Retirement
Teaching Option (herein referred to as the Plan) is to provide tenured
full-time faculty the opportunity to teach part-time immediately
following retirement.
Eligibility
Full-time tenured teaching
faculty who have reached the age of 55 and who have been employed at
Texas Woman's University as full-time teaching faculty for a minimum of
ten years may participate in the Retirement Teaching Option.
A faculty member who wants to
participate in the Plan must notify the Dean and the Provost/Vice
President for Academic Affairs in writing at the time of notifying the
University of intent to retire. This notice must be at least 90 days
prior to the beginning of the academic year in which participation in the
Plan begins.
The Plan
As is the case with other retired
faculty, participants in this Plan do not hold tenure. Eligible retired
TWU faculty members may participate in the Plan for up to five
consecutive years. After the first three years, continued participation
in the Plan is subject to annual review by the University in order to
establish that instructional need continues, that financial resources are
available and that performance is satisfactory.
A faculty member may teach up to
half-time during the academic year in each calendar year of participation
in the Plan. Summer assignments will normally not be permitted.
The courses to be taught will be
determined by the Dean/Director in consultation with the appropriate
Department Chair (or equivalent).
Compensation will be determined
using the retired faculty member's final-year nine-month salary as the
base. Half-time teaching will be compensated at half-salary. Less than
half-time teaching will be pro-rated accordingly.
Faculty members who participate
in the Retirement Teaching Option will be required to share in
departmental duties including advisement, curriculum development and
committee work, in proportion to their teaching assignment.
Continuation of Plan
The TWU Retirement Teaching
Option may be modified or discontinued at any time by Texas Woman's
University. If the Plan is discontinued by the University, faculty in
their first, second or third year of participation in the Plan will be
permitted to complete the three initial years of participation.
