The matching program is the best method to reduce the expense of membership and encourage increased participation in recreational sports. Rationale The committee feels that at a time when the University is challenged by a variety of employment and compensation issues, offering this popular service at a reduced rate will have a strong, positive impact on the campus environment. Evidence suggests that implementation of this program will foster participation resulting in a healthier and more productive work force with reduced absenteeism and fewer health insurance claims. It is also believed that the inclusion of the matching program as part of the total-compensation package will assist in the recruitment and retention of the highest quality faculty and staff. Thus, this resolution addresses only the principle of a matching program.
