Resolution: Extending the Six-Credit Hour Benefit to Spouses
February 21, 2003
Because:
- a USM-Gulf Coast program of allowing nontraditional students to take
three hours of coursework for free has encouraged continued coursework
and generated funds for the university.
- faculty and staff have received no raises for more than two years
in the face of increasing health plan costs.
- most faculty do not take advantage of the below noted benefit.
- motivating people to take USM courses may draw people in to complete
a degree.
We,
the Faculty Senate of USM, advocate extending the six-credit-hour per semester
coursework benefit enjoyed by faculty and staff members to their spouses.
