 Barry v. University of Alaska (02/27/2004) sp-5785
Barry acknowledged that his service may have been overstated by as much as a year but claimed that he had additional service with the University and outside credit which he had not put forward for credit so that the amount of creditable time which [he] had with the University is in doubt.
As Barry himself points out in his reply brief, the dispute leading to the release related not [to] the question of whether he would have twenty years of service required to qualify for retirement, but on whether a cost saving would accrue to the University by granting Barry RIP benefits.
And Barry has not offered adequate evidence that such a promise or separate retirement contract existed, much less that it was entered into contemporaneously with the release agreement or that it was incorporated by reference into the release.
