1 Despite sitting on $800 million in unrestricted net assets, PASSHE is continuing its attempt to take away faculty rights and benefits. If you do not support a strike authorization vote, you risk getting a contract with: – A 35% reduction in temporary faculty salaries – Increased out-of-pocket healthcare costs – Elimination of annuitant healthcare and continued lack of domestic partner annuitant healthcare – Mandatory development and teaching of distance education courses without compensation

2 Stronger Weaker Source: PASSHE ChartUnrestricted net assets compared to total annual operating budget, including auxiliaries. PASSHE has unrestricted funds equal to almost two years of the state appropriation or 50 percent of its annual operating budget. $800 million The Median Ratio for Aa2 Rated Institutions is 27%

6 PASSHE is proposing to eliminate Indemnity Plans while increasing PPO out-of network deductibles and raising out of pocket prescription drug costs. Increase in Faculty PPO Premium Contribution Per Paycheck (Based on 26 Pays) Family Two Single Source: Open Enrollment Summaries

7 – PASSHE’s reduced contribution to the H&W fund has remained flat since 2004 while medical inflation has risen 30.3%. As a result, average out of pocket costs for dental/vision have risen $264 per FTE faculty member since 2005.

8 PASSHE latest proposal continues to refuse annuitant healthcare benefits for a domestic partner—a right that is the norm in higher education. According to our healthcare consultant, adding a domestic partner would be effectively cost-neutral. As of Spring 2012, there were only 37 active faculty members with domestic partner healthcare benefits. PASSHE can afford to provide this basic right. (Source: Spring 2012 Syspay)

9 The following slides show how PASSHE carves out specific items at negotiations and uses the “slippery slope” to its advantage in subsequent negotiations to strip faculty of rights and benefits. This pattern must STOP before we are forced into a toothless CBA!
