It is anticipated that Ms. Frederick will assume her duties by the end of this month. There were over 20 submitted applications for this half-time position.
(c) Report from CUCEA meeting of 4/28: On behalf of attendees Moldave, Feldman and Porter, Porter gave an overview of the presentations (by phone) of staff from the Office of the President. Mostly they focused on the stable status of the assets in the UC Retirement Fund, and on the forthcoming (in July) transfer of record-keeping and administration of 403(b) and other non-pension funds to Fidelity. Numerous communications will be sent to emeritae/i and retirees by UC Human Resources between now and that time. Porter also discussed several of the reports that were presented from other campus emeritae/i associations, and in particular noted that at UC Davis each January the Chancellor “hosts a dinner in honor of the Emeriti.” At the most recent such dinner, “over 500 emeriti and spouses attended [the] event.” Discussion ensued among our Executive Committee members about the desirability of having such an annual event here at UCI.
