Voluntary Separation or Retirement Program (VSRP)
At the October 2021 meeting, the 帝王会所 Board of Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the University to establish and implement a Voluntary Separation or Retirement Program (VSRP) for full time tenure track (tenured and probationary) faculty members and administrative staff with the academic rank of tenured professor or tenured associate professor in strategically defined academic programs.
Individual emails will be distributed to Faculty and Staff who are eligible to participate in the 2022 Voluntary Separation or Retirement Program.
