Former state university employee E'tienne Davis, who retired in January 2018, saved $26,665 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davis would collect as much as $332,266, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davis received $6,984 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Davis will have already received $29,220 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
