NOTE: There seems to be some sentiment among some Regents that because of the two-decade pension contribution "holiday," retirees "got away" with something. We'll see if it is expressed as the following items are discussed. It should be noted, however, that the contribution holiday was instigated by the Regents (the trustees of the plan) in response to a state budget crisis and overfunding of the plan. The holiday could have been ended at any time by the Regents but it was continued into a period when underfunding had developed. Aside from the budget crisis, pay for faculty using the state-approved "comparison-8" methodology was below the reference group so that having no contribution partly made up for the underpayment. Only one current Regent - Hadi Makarechian - goes back to that era so institutional memory is lacking.
