In light of recent articles who quoted unnamed "source(s)" the Board Chair and Vice Chair have issued the following additional comments.

PSERS Board Chair Chris Santa Maria stated, "We do not have any information at this time that anything criminal occurred. Our present concern resulted from the admission of an error by one of our outside consultants. This error was brought to the attention of the Board by PSERS management. We expect the law firm will conduct a complete investigation and provide us with a thorough factual review of what occurred."

PSERS Board Vice Chair and Audit and Compliance Chair Rep. Frank Ryan stated, "I am very thankful for the leadership of our Board Chair who has been incredibly supportive of a fair, accurate, and timely investigation. The entire Board has been unanimous in our work and the management team has been extremely cooperative."
