The experience of four former administrators at Rutgers University illustrates the difficulty of valuable, well-paid workers who become disposable with age.<\/p>\n<p>For many people aged 40 and older, the Great Recession and its aftermath mean unemployment. Workers at midlife or older lucky enough to find re-employment after losing a career-level job must often adjust to a substantially lower salary.<\/p>\n<p>At Rutgers, a lawsuit against that institution by former administrative employees alleges the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All four individuals were dismissed after Gregory S. Jackson, current chief-of-staff to the university president, was given authority over career services at the institution. Of the three employees who had a regular evaluation, each received good job appraisals until Mr. White arrived. Thereafter, the evaluations\u2014and the job security\u2014of each administrator diminished.<\/li>\n<li>One plaintiff notes she was asked repeatedly by Mr. Jackson when she planned to retire.<\/li>\n<li>The administrators believe Mr. Jackson systemically worked to disparage their job performance and capabilities so he could bring in younger workers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only one of the four administrators who are suing Rutgers has located new employment, and it is a part-time position.
