Is it legal and unethical for a university to retain 88-year-old teachers to resume teaching after retirement?

Let's hope she takes the time to think on what’s best for her at this stage in life.

What she's thinking is she will never die once continue teaching. She will leave the earth without feeling about what her body needs.

Some people keep pushing themselves because slowing down feels scary to them.

Yeah she has to decide for herself. You just have to sometimes take your decision especially concerning your life

Those who are still teaching at the university are most retired Deans, or chairpersons. It's better for them to enjoy life outside the four walls in the classroom. They still vary 5 loads which is crucial for their health.

Retired academics still teaching often have a wealth of knowledge to share, but prioritizing their health and well-being is equally important for a fulfilling post-retirement life.

That is right, but they said that they will die if they separate themselves from work at the university, for fear that they will die. They forgot that there is no future. And their age is nearer to the death door.

Is it legal and unethical for a university to retain 88-year-old teachers to resume teaching after retirement? Retaining 88-year-old teachers can be a complex issue involving both legal and ethical considerations. Legally, if there are no mandatory retirement age laws or if the university has the discretion to rehire retired teachers, it may be permissible. Ethically, it raises questions about whether the teacher can still effectively perform their duties and provide quality education.

Retaining an 88-year-old professor largely depends on their competence and university policies. If they are still teaching effectively, there is no legal issue. Ethically, the quality of their teaching and whether the position will benefit newer faculty members are considered. Ultimately, the decision is a balance between competence and the best interests of the students.

The best description of that old academician is greedy to the core. She should let others get in, the younger ones and the most potential candidate to teach. Students never like an old teacher to handle them.
