From a media release by the Stanford Business School:
...In addition to some of the unique collaborative elements of the course, The Finance of Retirement and Pensions will culminate in an interactive symposium about the challenges of U.S. pension systems.

So what is the UC interest in all of this agitation? Mainly, to stay out of it. In 2010, the Regents enacted various changes in the UC basic pension.

It's tougher to stay out of an initiative.
Bottom line: UC may get Hoovered.
Best for her, maybe, but not for UC. |
