In the Spring of 2014, the Retired Faculty Association (RFA) contracted the Odum Institute to conduct a survey of retired faculty of the University of North Carolina—Chapel Hill. Funding was provided by the RFA, the Friday Center for Continuing Education, and the UNC Provost. The survey had two primary purposes: to gauge interest in a Lifelong Learning program for retired faculty, and to gather input on the role of retired faculty in university affairs. In addition, the RFA wished to learn faculty members’ reasons for joining or not joining the Association and to determine whether there were unmet needs among faculty with which the RFA could assist.
