Out of Time? How Detailed a PEB Review Will UCLA Have on October 14?

UC-Santa Cruz’s Academic Senate presented its program on the recommendations of the Post-Employment Benefits (PEB) Task Force. As noted in a prior posting, UCLA has its session scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 14, 10 AM, Royce Hall. The Santa Cruz program apparently featured a detailed and extensive set of slides, available at

If you click on that link, you will see that the slides are complicated as they work through the implications of the various pension options. They could not have been presented in a brief time period and must have been accompanied by a detailed oral narration. It is not clear to me that the UCLA program agenda will allow sufficient time for any such discussion. I note that Shane White, chair of the UCLA Faculty Welfare Committee and past chair of UCFW, has only 10 minutes to present. Yet he is very knowledgeable about the PEB and was involved in the systemwide Senate process.
