France Cordova's initial five-year contract ends in June 2012. She also turns 65 in August 2012 and would have to retire the following summer unless Purdue's Board of Trustees gives her an extension from the policy covering top university administrators.
The Journal & Courier reports trustees chairman Keith Krach declined to discuss Cordova's contract or whether a search was planned to find her eventual replacement.
