The details of medical plans will be provided at contract time. Essentially the University offers access to 3 or 4 plans. One plan is free to employees and the others may have a small monthly fee because of extra coverage and lower co-payments. The University subsidizes family coverage in all plans. Dental coverage is provided to interested employees at employee expense.
Life insurance is available after a one-year waiting period at no cost to the employee.
For faculty under 40 the coverage is twice salary. The coverage decreases with age until it is half of salary for those over 60. Disability coverage is provided to all faculty after one year and may be purchased at employee expense during the first year. A significant benefit is tuition remission for dependents. Faculty dependents may attend the University at no tuition cost provided they are admitted.
