He indicated that there would be an item in the regular agenda for a vote the following day. Delegation of Authority for Early Retirement Agreements President Ikenberry described to the board the need for the University to occasionally enter into retirement agreements with faculty and staff, particularly since the mandatory retirement age was lifted earlier this year. He asked for authorization from the board to negotiate such agreements and to include in these, when necessary, appointments for part-time employment following retirement. He indicated that the board would be notified of arrangements for rehiring faculty and staff when agreements for this are made. The president told the board members that there was an item concerning this in the regular agenda for a vote the following day. 1 Prior to the executive session there were meetings of the Committee on Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity and the Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
