These two had the greatest impact on the University:

University Committee on Pension Alternatives (1985-1989). During this time the University selected an alternative to TIAA/CREF. The committee dealt with outside counsel, state representatives, the three unions on campus, evaluated the requests for proposal, and made a final recommendation. Ultimately, Fidelity Investments was chosen.
