retention of 5500 forms



I have been asked how long 5500 forms re: employee benefits should be
retained. I've checked the list archives, "Schedule 8 - Higher Education;
General Records Retention Schedules for Community Colleges, State Colleges
and Universities," "The Management of College and University Archives," and
the IRS website at www.irs.gov but I can't find anything definite.

Our university archives is still taking shape, and each department has been
responsible for its own records. Is this a question that should be going to
our director of business operations rather than to me? Is there a "right
answer"?

I would appreciate any information you can give me.

Sincerely,
