The System Governance Council moves to endorse the UAA proposal and to send it to the appropriate administrative level for consideration. The UAA Assembly realizes that any benefits proposal will have to be approved by Statewide Administration, and will require modifications to Board of Regents Policy and Regulations, if approved. This waiver would be for a maximum of six credits per semester, on a space available basis. The retiree must pay all additional course fees. This action is effective January 27, 2000.
Employees have educational benefits until retirement.
Emeritus retired faculty have educational benefits. This would only effect employees under age 60 who do not have emeritus status. It is estimated that the number of retirees the proposal would cover would actually be few. There is no cost to the university for doing this, since these retirees would only take up seats that would ordinarily go unfilled.
