If the hiring of any person on the basis, in whole or in part, of retirement status is refused or delayed based on compliance with Federal or Louisiana state law, the University shall notify the UL System President in writing via the University President of each such instance within 5 (five) days prior to such action for the purpose of allowing an opportunity for legal review by UL System of such action.

All University Presidents must ensure that the respective University policies are reviewed and that any provisions which are contrary to this policy be immediately rescinded and removed.
