Act now to prevent further degradation of our retirement system

The University of California is currently considering introducing a new pension plan for its employees hired after 2016. These proposed changes will dramatically reduce pension benefits for most new faculty. The Davis Academic Senate is planning to have two town hall events to discuss these proposals, one on Monday, January 25, at 10 am, at the UCD Med Center's Center for Health and Technology lecture hall 1341. The other on January 28, at 10 am, in MU II. Please attend to learn more details or to express your opinion on these issues. The Davis Academic Senate has also set up a comment form at where you can express your concerns about this plan. Your opportunity to provide input to the Senate lasts just a couple weeks. For some purposes, it will be most effective to provide input this week. Please read on for additional background and contact information.
