For your UO Senate meeting tomorrow, the ORP rate discussions with DOJ are not complete and may take "a few more weeks" to the best of our knowledge. OUS is continuing to work on rate adjustments for Tier One and Tier Two employees, and to request that the OPSRP (new) employees' rate not be changed by PERS Board action until July 1, 2005, on schedule with other, regular PERS rate updates. My apologies that what we thought was a done deal requires yet more discussion. I'll keep you updated as we make progress on this. Denise
