Knut Anton Mork has extensive background both from academia and profiled chief economist at Handelsbanken from 1996 to 2015. But after searching for the position of dean at NTNU earlier this year, he has been notified that he is no longer appropriate for position.
Reason? Mork is 69 years old and thus too old to be employed at the university.

Was encouraged to apply
In an interview with Universitetsavisa says Knut Anton Mork, he is generally a supporter of the people must be able to work as long as they have the desire and energy to do it.
– I think it is very unfortunate that there is a statutory provision that prohibits it. I say this not because it now comes to me, this is a general perception I have and have had long, says Mork.
Friday morning tells Mork to E24 that he had been urged by Professor colleagues at NTNU to seek score.

– Interacts us to state rules
For E24 says Human NTNU, Arne Kristian Hestnes, that the university follows state rules, with its own law on minimum age.
– you can apply to remain in employment for up to five years beyond the age of 70. First, you can apply for two years, then you can apply one year three times, and there are rules we relate to, explains Hestnes.
Ragnhild Lied, head of the head of the main organization for the university and college educated, believe that there is no problem to be working active after the age of 70. But it may require adaptation of the workplace.
– You can agreement between employer and employee that you can continue working after the age of 70. It can be agreed through individual assessments by agreement between both parties. The law today is not so tight on it. But we have not a landslide of members who want to do this, says Lied to E24.
