Therefore Be It Resolved That, The Faculty Senate endorses the principle of the University providing full fringe benefits for faculty whose appointments, at their own election, are reduced to work at a level of fifty percent or more of full time. In order to expedite the timely consideration of this in the 92-93 budget now being developed, the Executive Board is instructed to meet and confer with the appropriate administrative officers to work out details, including the expected timetable for implementation.
