  • In the counter part, ITESM Faculty is fighting to increase the retirement age. Most of them consider that 60 (current years) is still to early to retire.

    Some of them are forced into retirement, and some of them find new hobbies as consulting or teaching somewhere else, nevertheless this is not only for faculty but for all employees at ITESM
