Former state university employee Dean Hagan, who retired in February 2018, saved $183,702 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hagan would collect as much as $2.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Hagan received $52,152 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Hagan will have already received $218,187 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
