RESOLUTION REGARDING STATE CONTRIBUTION TO HEALTH CARE COSTS
Whereas, the Faculty Welfare Committee of the Faculty Assembly has examined an August 1994 nationwide comparison of states' contributions to health care costs for family coverage of University faculty, provided by the Administrator of the State of North Carolina Health Plan; and
Whereas, the Committee's examination reveals that North Carolina's percentage level of contribution to such health care costs (40.1% of total costs) ranks near the bottom nationally (48th of 50); and
Whereas, such a situation has a negative impact on the recruitment, morale, and retention of University faculty;
Be it resolved therefore, that the Faculty Assembly recommend that President Spangler urge the General Assembly to increase the percentage of the state's contribution for such health care costs.
