Retirement and renewal schemes to strengthen university

Tuesday, 27 November 2001

A total of 47 Adelaide University staff have been accepted for early retirement under the University's voluntary early retirement scheme, Vice-Chancellor Professor Cliff Blake said today.

Professor Blake said that the group included academic as well as general staff. He said they included some of the University's longest serving staff members, and many of them had made enormous contributions to the institution. Applications from other staff are still under consideration, and it is expected that total acceptances will exceed 50. Most of the early retirees will leave the University early in the New Year.

The staff renewal strategy will enable some staff to retire early and will also involve the appointment of new staff in areas of strong student demand or in areas of identified research strength.
