Kari - It has already been recommended that parking spaces be given to meritorious staff. Karin - A Human Resource Committee is writing a policy for Big Red on rewards and recognition for outstanding staff, and one item is the consideration of granting parking spaces. Committee is following the consolidation which is scheduled to be instituted this July 1 st . Retirees who have stayed with the UNM package will continue with health and education benefits as long as UNM continues to support those benefits. If UNM modifies the benefits, UH will also.
Dependent education is still under consideration.
Negotiations continue to get UH to continue the coverage as is, and not just for those with children in grades 8 or above. They will be meeting with UH interim Vice President, Dr. Eaton, on Wednesday. We have moved into room 311 and are getting it set up. It is now functional for the Staff Council. Room 316 is only waiting for the previous occupant to get her equipment moved out before we can move in.
