10/07/03: passed the following resolution
on across-the-board sharing of the premium for health insurance:
Whereas, the adoption of a system requiring all UW System faculty and
academic staff to pay a substantial part of their health insurance premium
for 2003-04 would impose a hardship on many lower paid academic staff and
faculty, reduce take-home pay of all UW-System faculty and academic staff
if unaccompanied by a pay increase, and shift cost of increased health insurance
to the employees while doing little to reduce overall costs of health care;
be it resolved that the UW-Whitewater Faculty Senate opposes
change to mandatory, across-the-board sharing of the premium payment for
health insurance in the benefit package.

10/07/03: passed the following resolution
on further budget cuts to UW System:
Whereas, in 1973-74 General Purpose Revenue support for the UW
System was 50 percent of the state's total budget, but in 2003-2004 GPR support
will comprise just 27 percent; and
Whereas, in 1973-74 support for UW System support
comprised 14.4 percent of the state's GPR budget but by 2005 will comprise
only 7 percent;
Whereas, the UW System's base budget for 2001-03
was cut $50 million;
Whereas, the UW System's base budget for 2003-05
was cut $250 million a disproportionate 38 percent of state budget cuts
be it resolved that the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
Faculty Senate, opposes any further base budget cuts to the UW-System-including
UW System administration, UW doctoral universities, UW comprehensive universities,
UW colleges, and UW extension; opposes any further erosion of the "Wisconsin
Idea," as academic expertise is needed to assist local, regional, and state
policymakers to find solutions to issues facing Wisconsin in the 21st century;
urges that the state's 2005-2007 budget not include any
cuts targeted at the UW System and its institutions; and urges Wisconsin
State Legislators and our Wisconsin Governor instead as soon as possible to
make redoubled financial commitments needed to rebuild the UW System so it
can provide Wisconsin citizens excellent education both as a means to their
personal satisfaction and to restoring and maintaining our state's economic
health.
