A Note Regarding Retirement Planning

These retirement programs are voluntary. The University can provide you with information and answer questions to enable you to make an informed decision, but we cannot advise you to accept or decline the various retirement options. The decision is entirely up to you. Faculty retirement plans may be terminated or changed by the University at any time.
