BUENDIA ESPINOSA, Angélica  y  OLIVER VILLALOBOS, Lorena. Bidding farewell to academics from public Mexican universities: Losses and gains. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.160, pp.10-28. ISSN 0185-2698.

This article analyzes the implications on teaching and research following the retirement of academics at two public Mexican universities, the Autonomous Metropolitan University (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, UAM) and the Autonomous University of Chapingo (Universidad Autónoma de Chapingo, UACh), in the context of current regulation of academic work. The research paper examines two cases, analyzed under the comparative method, based on a mixed methodology. The conclusion is that, in general, the universities have not designed an institutional strategy to plan the departure of academics upon their retirement, and the entry of their replacements. This process is assumed to take place naturally and to affect teaching and research in different ways, depending on the profile developed over time by the institutions.
