Enrollment in the Network Plan continues to grow. In 1994, there were 2,625 participants-56 percent of all faculty and 24 percent of all staff. Currently, there are 3,221 participants-60 percent of faculty and 30 percent of staff. Kaiser enrollment increased slightly-to 3,178 from last year's 3,050. There are no changes for 1996 in the university's dental plans.
Employees are eligible to enroll in dental plans after one year of service.
