The distribution of faculty ages

The new strategic plan for collage has a focus on the power and promise of networks -- all kinds of them -

and the impact that networks can have on all walks of life from science to the humanities. One potential

problem with this is that the influx of new ideas often depends on having a lot of new, young faculty on

board with the latest ideas and lots of energy. Yet the bulk of the faculty is older and tenured, i.e. the

distribution of faculty ages is shifting upward, at the same time there is a shortage of openings at the lower

ranks. If the retirement age were 67 would you expect the distribution of faculty ages to be normal? If yes

why and if not then why not?
