We have been hearing that many faculty and employees at campuses across the UC system are unhappy about the new rules, particularly those from campuses without a medical center where there are fewer options and higher out of pocket costs. If you have a story to tell, UC professors Michael Meranze and Chris Newfield who blog at Remaking the University have created a page where you can Share Your UC Care Story.
With more information about how changes impact faculty and staff, we can seek better mechanisms that would permit faculty to negotiate these elements of our compensation.
