Vancouver Sun: Forced retirement premature for two university professors
University of B.C. law professor Tony Sheppard is just a few months away from what many would consider a comfortable retirement.
The 65-year-old Sheppard, who has taught law at the university since 1969, not only owns his home outright, but will collect a decent pension when he steps down in June.
His children are adults and the world could quite literally be his oyster.
But Sheppard, who feels he still has much to offer as a teacher, doesn’t want to retire. And he resents the fact that university policy mandates he must step down at age 65.
