RESOLUTION

Whereas Dr. Elson S. Floyd, President of the University of Missouri, at his first meeting with the Intercampus Faculty Council on January 28, 2003, responded openly and supportively to the Intercampus Faculty Council in the request for a dependent educational fee benefit, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd promptly lead his leadership team, namely Vice President Kenneth Hutchinson, in researching the cost, impact, and benefits of the proposed fee benefit for dependents and reported these findings to the Intercampus Faculty Council, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd recognized the powerful impact a fee benefit would have on a large number of University of Missouri employees with spouses and children, especially junior faculty and staff with young families, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd saw the value the fee benefit would add to the efforts of University leaders to recruit and retain young faculty of high caliber, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd saw the special value the fee benefit would have for staff and faculty during a prolonged period of poor salary increases, or none at all, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd and his leadership team prepared the educational fee benefit proposal for review by the Board of Curators, whose members unanimously adopted the Educational Fee Reduction for Spouses and Dependents Policy on May 25, 2003, and this policy was implemented without delay, and
Whereas President Elson S. Floyd, by word and deed, demonstrated to all faculty and staff of the University of Missouri, by his work with the Intercampus Faculty Council on the Education Fee Reduction Policy, his commitment to inclusive, shared governance, his leadership skill in advancing, with no waste of time, from discussion to implemented policy, a proposal that originated with the Intercampus Faculty Council and the Intercampus Staff Advisory Council, and

Whereas President Elson S. Floyd, by his management of the Educational Fee Reduction Policy research and implementation process, showed his ability to balance stewardship of University finances and a vision for building the institution, with compassion for the University of Missouri’s community of people,

Be it resolved that the Intercampus Faculty Council, together with the Staff Advisory Council of the University of Missouri, as four campuses united, extend our profoundest appreciation and highest expression of respect to President Elson S. Floyd, his leadership team, and the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, Honorable Connie Silverstein, President, for constructing, passing, and implementing the now and enduring policy known as the Educational Fee Reduction for Spouses and Dependents.

• 320.050 EMPLOYEE STATUS
  
  1. I. A. ADMINISTRATIVE, SERVICE AND SUPPORT STAFF DEFINED:
     Administrative, service and support employees are designated as regular, nonregular, or per diem. Only those employees designated as regular status are eligible to participate in the University’s benefit programs. The following provisions defining regular, nonregular and per diem employee are in effect for all administrative, service and support employees, unless specifically exempted by policy.
     
     2.  
        1. A Regular Employee is an administrative, service and support staff member expected to work at least 75 percent FTE with an indicated appointment duration of at least six months and regularly scheduled to work a minimum average of 30 hours per week. All regular employees are benefit eligible. Service credit under the UM retirement program requires a minimum of 1500 hours worked per year.
        2. A Nonregular Employee is an administrative, service and support staff member whose appointment does not qualify for regular employee status as defined. Employees may be reappointed beyond the initial appointment, but in no instance may a nonregular employee work 1500 hours per year, based on date of hire.
        3. A Per Diem Employee is an administrative, service and support employee whose appointment is not a part of an operating unit’s regular work schedule and is scheduled to work only on an “as needed” basis. Work may be scheduled prospectively but should be considered as “elected” by the employee. Due to the nature of such an appointment, the employee may work as many hours as he/she elects, as approved by the University, without becoming eligible for University benefit programs. Such an employee is not extended benefits or rights of University employment policies for regular employees and may be excluded from future service at any time. Per diem employees are provided an hourly rate of pay following approved rate schedule(s). In all such per diem designations, approval is required by the Vice President for Human Resources.
     3. BENEFIT ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES:
        1. All regular employees are benefit eligible. All nonregular and per diem employees are not eligible for benefits.
        2. In the event that an employee with an initial benefit eligible appointment is changed to an appointment of 75 percent FTE or greater, but less than six-months in duration, the employee will continue to be considered benefit eligible.
        3. Individual salaries must be commensurate with FTE.
        4. A department is prohibited from requiring a benefit eligible employee to forego benefit entitlement as a condition of employment.
        5. Individuals who are working at UM through an exchange program, visiting scholars program, or other similar program, in which the individual is receiving compensation from another institution and not from UM, are not to be considered benefit eligible.
        6. Student employees, including but not limited to Graduate Teaching Assistants, Graduate Research Assistants, Graduate Instructors, and Student Assistants, are not benefit eligible.
  2. The President is hereby authorized, subject to approval of the language by the General Counsel, to modify the language of benefit plan documents, as necessary to make them consistent with the above revisions of Section 320.050.
