Task Force to Present Possible Pension, Health Benefit Options on April 23
The University of California’s Post-Employment Benefits Task Force will talk about its work and the range of options it is considering for pension and retiree health benefits at a series of forums in April.
The task force also will share the results of the recent employee preference survey.
The April meetings at all UC campuses follow up on task force forums held last fall when task force members laid out the issues confronting UC in sustaining the current pension and retiree health benefits.
UC President Mark Yudof appointed the task force in March 2009, and charged it with reviewing current retirement benefits and developing options for balancing the long-term costs of pension and retiree health benefits with the need to provide sustainable post-employment benefits to faculty and staff.
The task force has been studying the issues and weighing input from the UC community. It will make recommendations to Yudof later this summer on ways to change the funding and policies for post-employment benefits.
Executive Director Randy Scott and Director Gary Schlimgen from the UC Office of the President Human Resources department will present the options to UCSF faculty and staff as well as retirees in two separate sessions on Friday, April 23.
A panel comprising representatives from the task force will answer questions and listen to comments and input from the audience after the presentation.
The task force will host the following sessions at UCSF on April 23:
- Combined Faculty & Staff Forum: Cole Hall, Parnassus campus, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This session will be simulcast to Rock Hall, Mission Bay; Herbst Hall, Mount Zion; Laurel Heights Auditorium and UC Fresno Auditorium.
- Combined Retired Faculty & Staff Forum: Laurel Heights Auditorium, from 3 to 5 p.m.
Both forums will be video recorded and will be available online at a later date. Contact Robin McCartney at 415/476-4221 for more information.
