The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the new pension plan proposal which is under consideration by President Napolitano. As part of last year’s budget negotiations with Governor Brown, President Napolitano agreed to revise UC pensions under the 2013 agreement.
In spring 2015, the California Legislature, Governor Brown and President Napolitano agreed to the University of California imposing a maximum pension limit of approximately $117,000 for all UC employees hired after July 1, 2016; this limit is consistent with the limit used for all non-UC state employees. This agreement included a stipulation that, in return, the State would provide $436 million dollars over three years to help reduce UC’s unfunded pension liability.
President Napolitano appointed a Retirement Options Task Force (ROTF), with the charge to make recommendations for a supplementary pension benefits plan for UC Faculty and Staff that would complement the new pension plan. The Retirement Options Task Force report is available here; also available is a Guide to reviewing the Report and a Fact Sheet.
