Popis: This article presents the results of a national study designed to determine if large-scale turnover is likely to occur among community college faculty members during the next several years. It also examined factors that affect faculty members' retirement decisions, the impact and prevalence of early and phased retirement decisions, the effect and prevalence of early and phased retirement programs, and the steps being taken by institutions to prepare for what some have predicted will be a significant turnover. Finally, this study sought to determine the skills and characteristics faculty members nearing retirement view as important in their replacements.
