Two systemwide efforts — one on post-retirement benefits and the other on the future of UC — will be the subject of open meetings at UC Davis in November.

The UC President’s Task Force on Post-Employment Benefits is scheduled to visit UC Davis on Nov. 9 to give staff, faculty and retirees the opportunity to learn and ask questions about the immediate and long-term effects of fiscal pressures on the university’s pension and retiree health programs. Release time with supervisory approval is appropriate for staff. Enrollment is limited; therefore, reservations are being taken.

• Davis campus — 9-10:20 a.m. and 10:30-11:50 a.m., AGR Room, Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center. Enroll online at lms.ucdavis.edu (search for “PEB”).

• Sacramento campus — 2-3:20 p.m., auditorium, Cancer Center, 4501 X St. Enroll online.

Retirees should contact the Retiree Center at (530) 752-5182 or retireecenter@ucdavis.edu to reserve seats.

One session will be simulcast on the Web, and the recording will be archived for later viewing. Web links will be posted on the UC Davis home page the day of the meetings.

More information on the task force and its mission.

The UC Commission on the Future is scheduled to conduct a meeting on the Davis campus on Nov. 30, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the AGR Room at the Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center. The commission is studying the size and shape of UC, its education and curriculum, access and affordability, and funding and research. More information.
