This research brief examines changes in the age distributionof faculty in the University of Wisconsin (UW) system over time and trends infaculty retirement. Findings indicate that: (1) in 1997-98, 35 percent offaculty were age 55 and older, 51 percent were between 40 and 54, and fewerthan 15 percent were under 40; (2) on average, faculty at the UWcomprehensive institutions were somewhat older than faculty at UW-Madison andUW-Milwaukee; faculty at the UW colleges were older than faculty in othersystem institutions; (3) faculty age distribution varied across academicdisciplines, with engineering and physical sciences having both the highestpercentage in the 55 and older age group and the highest percentage offaculty under 40; (4) between 1985-86 and 1997-98 the total number of UWsystem faculty declined by 9.8 percent; however, the number of faculty 55 andover increased by 18 percent and the number under age 40 declined by 41.4percent, which changed the age distribution. Based on historical retirementrates, it is projected that 2,384 faculty members (close to 40 percent)systemwide will retire over the next decade. Text, figures, and graphspresent the detailed analysis. Appendices include technical notes, additionaltables, and notes on the projection methodology used. (DB)

The Graying of the Faculty in the UW System
Executive Summary
It has been widely observed that in higher education the aging of the faculty "will result in retirementincreases beginning in the late 1990s and continuing through the first decade of the 21" century"(Bringing into Focus the Factors Affecting Faculty Supply and Demand, Western InterstateCommission for Higher Education, 1991). This research brief looks at changes in the age distributionof faculty in the UW System over time in order to determine the impact of these changes on facultyretirements.
In 1997-98, 35 percent of faculty systemwide were age 55 and older, about half (51%) werebetween the ages of 40 and 54, and less than 15 percent were under age 40. There were somevariations among institutions in the UW System. Approximately 33 percent of the faculty at UW-Madison were 55 and older while less than 15 percent of its faculty were under age 40. At UW-Milwaukee, the age distribution of faculty was similar to that of UW-Madison with 30 percent of itsfaculty age 55 and older and again, less than 15 percent younger than age 40. On average, thefaculty at the UW Comprehensive institutions were somewhat older than the faculty at UW-Madisonand UW-Milwaukee with 36 percent of faculty age 55 and older and less than 15 percent under age40. The UW Colleges' faculty were measurably older than faculty in the other institutions, with 47percent of the faculty age 55 and older and less than 10 percent under age 40.
The faculty age distribution also varies across academic disciplines. In 1997-98, Engineering andPhysical Sciences had the highest percentage (39%) in the 55 and older age group, followed byHumanities (38%), Agricultural and Life Sciences (33%), Social and Behavioral Sciences (32%), Non-Clinical Health Sciences (31%), and Clinical Health Sciences (28%). Engineering and PhysicalSciences also had the highest percentage (19%) of faculty under age 40.
Between 1985-86 and 1997-98 the total number of UW System faculty declined from 6,883 to 6,208(9.8%). During the same time period the number of faculty 55 and over increased by 330 (18.0%),while the number under the age of 40 declined by 621 (41.4%) resulting in a change in the agedistribution of the faculty. The percentage of UW System faculty age 55 and older increased from 27percent in 1985-86 to 35 percent in 1997-98, while the percentage of faculty under age 40 declinedfrom 22 percent in 1985-96 to 14 percent in 1997-98.
Based on historical retirement rates in the UW System, 2,384 faculty members systemwide areprojected to retire over the next decade. This represents close to 40 percent of the total number ofUW System faculty in 1997-98.

Introduction
Section I:1997-98 Faculty AgeDistribution in the UWSystem
Approximately 35% of allUW System faculty wereage 55 or older in 1997-98.
This report examines trends in the faculty age distribution in the UWSystem by institution, academic discipline area and gender, with anemphasis on the age distribution of faculty in 1997-98. Data onretirement patterns are used in conjunction with the age distributiondata to develop estimated retirement projections. The populationstudied in this research brief includes all UW System tenured andtenure-track faculty members who were on the October AA/EEOdatabases of 1985, 1990, 1994, and 1997. Detailed technicalnotes are provided in Appendix A.
This research brief consists of four substantive sections and aconclusion. The first section provides a description of the 1997-98faculty age distribution in the UW System; the second sectiondiscusses changes in the faculty age distribution over time; the thirdsection focuses on the 1997-98 faculty age distribution by disciplinearea; and the fourth section provides projections of UW Systemfaculty retirements in the next decade. The conclusion summarizesthe major findings of this study and indicates their implications. Inaddition, there are three appendixes, which provide technical notesand tables showing detailed figures concerning various topics in thisstudy.
Overall, in 1997-98, approximately 35 percent of the UW System facultywere 55 years of age or older. Approximately 14 percent of facultywere under age 40, while 51 percent were in the age group between 40and 54 (Figure 1).

Table 1 shows the faculty age distribution for UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, the UW Comprehensive institutions, and the UWColleges. (Detailed information on each of the UW Comprehensiveinstitutions is provided in Appendix B, Table 7.)
In 1997-98, approximately 33 percent of the faculty at UW-Madison were 55 and older, while about 52 percent were betweenage 40 and 54. Slightly less than 15 percent were under age 40.
The age distribution of UW-Milwaukee faculty was similar to that ofUW-Madison, with approximately 30 percent of the faculty age 55and older and 55 percent between age 40 and 54. Again, less than15 percent were under age 40.
The faculty at the UW Comprehensive institutions were somewhatolder than the faculty at UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee.Approximately 36 percent of the faculty in the UW Comprehensiveinstitutions were age 55 and older while 50 percent were betweenage 40 and 54. Like UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, slightly lessthan 15 percent were under age 40.
The UW Colleges had the oldest faculty in the UW System with thehighest proportion of faculty age 55 and older (47.3%), and thelowest under age 40 (9.5%). Only 43 percent of UW Colleges'faculty were between age 40 and 54.

In 1997-98, 4,497 (72.4%) of the total 6,208 UW Systemfaculty were men and 1,711 (27.6%) were women. While 40percent of the male faculty were 55 years of age or older,only 22 percent of female faculty fell into this category. Bycontrast, almost 20 percent of the female faculty were underthe age of 40 compared to 12 percent of the males (Figure 2).The difference in the distribution of men and women by ageresults in a situation in which 83 percent of the faculty 55and over are male and only 17 percent of the faculty in thatage group are female.

Between 1985-86 and 1997-98 the total number of UWSystem faculty declined from 6,883 to 6,208 (9.8%).During the same time period the number of faculty 55 andover increased by 330 (18.0%), while the number underthe age of 40 declined by 621 (41.4%) causing a changein the age distribution of the faculty. The percentage ofUW System faculty age 55 and older increased from 27percent in 1985-86 to 35 percent in 1997-98, while thepercentage of faculty in the age group between 40 and 54held almost constant at about 51 percent. The percentageof all faculty in the UW System under age 40 declinedfrom 22 percent in 1985-86 to 14 percent in 1997-98(Figure 3). Across the UW System, the mean faculty ageincreased from 48 in 1985-86 to 50 in 1997-98.

During this period:
While the total faculty at UW-Madison declined by 162(9.8%) between 1985-86 and 1997-98, the number offaculty age 55 years or older increased by 54 (8.2%)and the faculty under the age of 40 declined by 283(41.4%). This changed the age distribution so that thepercentage of faculty 55 or older increased from 28percent to 33 percent while the percentage under theage of 40 declined from 26 percent to 15 percent.The average faculty age at UW-Madison increasedfrom 48 in 1985-86 to 50 in 1997-98.
UW-Milwaukee experienced a shift in the agedistribution similar to UW-Madison, with thepercentage of the faculty 55 or older increasing from26 percent to 30 percent, while the percent under theage of 40 declined from 27 percent to 14 percent.UW-Milwaukee's average faculty age increased from47 in 1985-86 to 50 in 1997-98.
The UW Comprehensive institutions experienced asomewhat larger increase than either UW-Madison orUW-Milwaukee with the percentage age 55 and aboverising from 27 percent to 36 percent. By contrast, the

Between 1985 and 1997,UW Colleges experienced a32 percentage point increasein the number of faculty age55 and older.
UW Comprehensives experienced a smaller declinethan UW-Madison or UW-Milwaukee in the percentageunder the age of 40, which declined from 18 percentin 1985-86 to 14 percent in 1997-98. The averagefaculty age in the UW Comprehensives increased from48 in 1985-86 to 50 in 1997-98.
The UW Colleges experienced the largest shift in theage distribution, with the percent of faculty 55 or overrising from 15 percent in 1985-86 to 47 percent in1997-98 and the percentage under the age of 40falling from 19 percent to 10 percent. The averagefaculty age at UW Colleges increased from 46 in 1985-86 to 52 in 1997-98.

Table 3 illustrates that while the total number of faculty in theUW System declined by 675 (9.8%) between 1985-86 and1997-98, the number of women increased by 386 (29.1%) andthe number of men declined by 1,061 (19.1%). This changeincreased the proportion of female faculty employed in the UWSystem from approximately 19 percent in 1985-86 to almost 28percent in 1997-98. UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, the UWComprehensives and the UW Colleges all showed an increase inthe proportion of women faculty.
Systemwide, between 1985-86 and 1997-98, the number offemale faculty under the age of 40 declined, but not as rapidly asthe number of male faculty in that category, resulting in anincrease in the proportion of female faculty under the age of 40.In the other two age categories, (40 to 54 and 55 and above), thenumber of women increased while the number of men declined.UW-Madison, the UW Comprehensives and the UW Collegesexhibited a similar pattern of increases in the proportion ofwomen in all three age categories. At UW-Milwaukee there weredecreases in the proportion of women in the under 40 and 55 andabove categories, offset by a larger increase in the proportion ofwomen in the 40 to 54 year category.

The faculty age distribution varies across academic disciplines.For the purposes of this analysis, academic disciplines weregrouped into six broad areas: Social and Behavioral Sciences,Humanities, Engineering and Physical Sciences, Agricultural andLife Sciences, Non-Clinical Health Sciences, and Clinical HealthSciences. Faculty members in non-teaching departments (e.g.,university library) as well as Law and Medicine are excluded fromthis analysis. Among these six academic discipline areas, morethan half (61.1%) of the 1997-98 faculty population was in theSocial and Behavioral Sciences and Humanities. Engineering andPhysical Sciences had approximately 22 percent, while the otherdiscipline areas shared the remaining 17 percent of the facultypopulation.
Systemwide, approximately 39 percent of faculty in Engineeringand Physical Sciences were age 55 and older, followed byHumanities (37.7%). The discipline area of Engineering andPhysical Sciences also had the highest proportion of faculty underage 40 (19.3%). Clinical Health Sciences had a concentration(65.6%) of faculty between age 40 and 54, leaving smallfractions at both ends of the age distribution (Table 4). Detailedtables of 1997-98 faculty age distributions for all discipline areasand institutions in the UW System are provided in Appendix B,Tables 10.

Table 5 displays the age distribution of faculty by discipline in 1985-86, 1990-91, 1994-95, and 1997-98. Between 1985-86 and 1997-98, faculty age 55 and older in the Non-Clinical Health Sciences hadthe largest increase (17 percentage points), followed by Engineering &Physical Sciences (13 percentage points), Humanities (11 percentagepoints), Agricultural and Life Sciences and Clinical Health Sciences(both 8 percentage points), and Social and Behavioral Sciences (5percentage points).
During this period, all discipline areas experienced a decline in theproportion of faculty under age 40. However, due to small number offaculty, the Non-Clinical Health Sciences and Clinical Health Sciencesexperienced the most dramatic percentage point decreases (31percentage points and 27 percentage points respectively).
Traditionally, faculty in the Engineering and Physical Sciences havebeen predominately male, however, between 1985-86 and 1997-98,the number of women faculty in these disciplines more than doubled,increasing from 74 to 152 with 32 more in the under age 40 categoryand 37 more in the age 40-54 category. (See Appendix B, Table 9.)
Proportionally, women faculty increased in the Social/BehavioralScience, Humanities, and Agricultural/Life Sciences disciplinary areasin all age categories during this period. Faculty in the Clinical HealthSciences have been predominately female. More than 90 percent ofthe faculty in the discipline were women faculty in 1985-86, 1990-91, and 1994-95, while the percentage decreased to 73 percent in1997-98. (See Appendix B, Table 9.)

Section IV:UW System FacultyRetirement Projections
The previous sections have illustrated the "graying" of theUW System faculty as a whole over the past 12 years. Animportant question is how the change in the age distributionwill affect faculty retirement rates in the future. This section providesprojections of retirements over the next decade. (see Appendix C andTable 11 for description of methodology and projected retirementdetailed by age and year.)
UW System faculty retirement projections for the next ten years weregenerated based on the age distribution of the1997-98 facultypopulation and the average actual faculty retirement rates by age ofthe last five years' (see Appendix C, Table 12). The model assumesthat the recent historical patterns of retirement will continue in thefuture. However the availability of early retirement packages, careerchange opportunities, and retirement benefit adjustments mightchange the retirement patterns. Under such circumstances, theretirement projections in this study would have to be modifiedaccordingly.
The average age at retirement for the past five years varied byinstitution. UW-Madison had an average retirement age of 63.9, whileUW-Milwaukee's average retirement age was 64.3, the UWComprehensives was age 61.5, and the UW Colleges was age 59.7.
Historically, retirement rates at UW-Madison were very low at agesyounger than 62; however, partly because the implementation of thePost Retirement Plan' in 1993-94, the retirement rates for faculty age58 through age 61 have increased noticeably. For example, theretirement rate for faculty age 60 increased from 1.9 percent in 1993-94 to 14.5 percent in 1997-98.
UW-Milwaukee's faculty retirements in the past five years had beenconcentrated between age 62-67 and over 70, while UW Colleges'faculty retirements occurred mostly between age 57 and 66. Anumber of the UW Comprehensive institutions had a higher percentageof faculty retirements that occurred before age 59. For example, UW-Stout's five-year average retirement rate at age 57 is 18.8 percent,and UW-Oshkosh's five-year average retirement rate at age 55 is 6.4percent.
In 1997, a study was conducted at UW-Madison using a logistic regressionanalysis of retirement patterns in addition to the model of using only historicalretirement rates by age category, which is used in this research brief. Theregression analysis included variables in addition to age, such as years as afaculty member, divisional committee affiliation, race, gender, rank,department size, etc. The study concluded that, "as expected, age was themost important factor in explaining the likelihood of retirement in a givenyear" and "the results of all the methods were similar in the aggregate[numbers of projected retirements)" . (Harrigan, 1997)
2 The program provides a smooth transition for faculty from full-time teachingto a full retirement. Faculty who elect to utilize the plan are hired back toteach part-time for a few years with full retirement benefits.

Table 6 summarizes the projected retirements over the next decade forUW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, the UW Comprehensives, and the UWColleges. Overall, based on historical patterns, a total of 2,384 facultyare projected to retire systemwide by the year 2007-2008. Thisrepresents close to 40 percent of the total number of faculty in 1997-98. By institution, total projected retirements during this period as apercent of 1997-98 faculty range from 33 percent at UW-Milwaukee to49 percent at UW Colleges, with UW-Madison at 35 percent and theUW Comprehensive institutions averaging 41 percent.
A greater proportion of the projected retirements will occur in the firstfive years of the 10-year period. The number of projected retirements inthe first five years is 1,276 (20.6% of the 1997-98 faculty base)compared to the 1,108 (17.8% of the same faculty base) in the latterfive years in the 10-year period. These projections are consistent withthe findings in a study by Lozier, and Dooris, Faculty RetirementProjections beyond 1994: Effects of Policy on Individual Choice. In thatstudy, the authors made the observation that "... projections ofretirement rates indicate that the largest number of retirements willoccur between 1998-99 and 2002-03."

Conclusion: The analysis in this report demonstrates that, like university facultynationally, UW System faculty are aging, with a substantial portion likelyto retire in the next ten years. This "graying" of the UW faculty hasbeen accompanied by a decline in the number of younger faculty due tothe budget cuts of the '90s. The data also indicate that the impacts ofretirements will vary by discipline and by institution/cluster.
Because this is a national trend, UW institutions will be replacingsignificant numbers of retiring faculty in a competitive market for newfaculty. The influx of new faculty accompanied by the retirements willsignificantly change the age distribution of the faculty in the nextdecade. The substantial turnover of faculty is likely to have some

positive implications such as increasing the proportion of women infaculty positions. However, serious challenges will face UW institutionsas older, more experienced faculty retire and are replaced by younger,less experienced professors. Some academic departments may bedecimated by a large number of retirements. Additionally, shortagesmay develop in specific disciplines where substantial numbers of facultyneed to be replaced.

APPENDIX A: TECHNICAL NOTES
The population studied in this research brief includes all full- and part-time tenured and tenure-trackfaculty members in the UW System (ranks of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, andinstructor) who were on the October 1985, 1990, 1994, and 1997 AA/EEO databases with a validdate of birth. AA/EEO database is a Systemvvide University Personnel Tape System which maintainsinformation on each appointment an individual can hold with the UW System institutions.
Age was calculated as of June 30 for each of the academic years of 1985-86, 1990-91, 1994-95and 1997-98, and grouped into three categories--age under 40, between age 40 and 54, and age 55and older for analyses within the UW System institutions.
UW System faculty members who had split tenured or tenure-track appointments in differentdepartments within one UW System institution were counted only once in the department with thelower UDDS code (Unit-Division-Department-Subdepartment). Faculty members who had splitappointments among different UW System institutions were counted once in each of the different UWSystem institutions.
The discipline areas for each faculty member were determined by matching their appointment UDDScodes with the Discipline Area Codes. Faculty members who are in non-teaching departments (e.g.university library) or in UW-Madison's Medical School or Law School are excluded in the analysis byacademic discipline areas. In 1997-98, there were 86 (1.4%) faculty members in non-teachingdepartments, 338 (5.4%) in the Medical School, and 41 (0.7%) in the Law School.

APPENDIX C
Technical Notes on the Faculty Retirement Projection Methodology at UW System
1. The 1985-86, 1990-91, 1994-95 and 1997-98 faculty population includes all tenured andprobationary faculty members with titles in the professorial ranks who were on the OctoberAA/EEO database and with a valid date of birth. Age is calculated as of June 30 for each ofthe fiscal years. Age at retirement is calculated as follows:
AGE = INT(((ENDYY-BIRTHYY)*12+(ENDMM-BIRTHMM))/12)
INT = Integer functionENDYY = Retirement year (e.g., 1995)ENDMM =Retirement month (e.g., 06 for June)BIRTHYY =Birth year (e.g., 1929)BIRTHMM = Birth month (e.g., 12 for December)
2a. From the IADS (Integrated Appointment Data System) database, actual number of facultyretirements for UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Green Bay, UW-Parkside, and UWColleges by institution and age were generated for fiscal years 1993-94 through 1997-98.UW-Eau Claire, UW-La Crosse, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Platteville, UW-River Falls, UW-StevensPoint, UW-Stout, UW-Superior, and UW-Whitewater joined the UWPC payroll system eitherin 1996 or 1997, the number of faculty retirements for this five-year period were collectedfrom the institutions.
2b. Frequency tables of age distributions for the total faculty population (by age and institution)for Fall terms of the same five years were generated from the October AA/EEO database.
3. For each institution and for each fiscal year, the retirement ratios for age 55 and older werecalculated by using the actual number of retirements at age 55 and older (from 2a. above)divided by the total number of faculty at the same age (from 2b. above). Then, for eachinstitution, five-year average retirement ratios at age 55 and older were calculated by usingthe sum of the five years' retirement ratios at each age divided by 5.
4. The faculty base for the retirement projection is the Fall 1997-98 faculty population of eachinstitution. The same population, then, aged through year 2007-08. For example, facultymembers age 57 in fall 1997-98 become faculty members age 58 in 1998-99, and age 59in 1999-2000.
5. The number of projected retirements for the first year (1998-99) is the integer product ofthe faculty population at age 55 and older (from 4. above) times the five-year averageretirement ratios for the same age (from 3. above).
6. Beginning from the 2nd year and on to 2007-08, the faculty base at age 56 and older has tobe adjusted by subtracting the projected retirements from the previous year, then calculatethe projected retirements as above.
For example, 30 faculty members age 57 in 1997-98 becomes 30 faculty age 58 in 1998-99, and these 30 faculty will be age 59 in 1999-2000. However, if the projectedretirements at age 58 in 1998-99 were 5, then the faculty base for age 59 in 1999-2000 is25 instead of 30.
