Chancellor Praises Retirement Plan Step Forward
Kansas University Chancellor W Clarke Wescoe called Senate Bill 398 a significant step for the Regents system toward an adequate retirement program for faculty and state workers. The plan would set mandatory participation for state employees with a contributory fund. university faculty would contribute five percent with a matching employer share and a benefit tied to 35 years of service plus social security. The bill, debated in the Senate with a House path, seeks to balance benefits and costs while allowing retirements from age 60 with reductions and up to age 70 with approval.
