ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT PROGRAM

ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT PROGRAM

For several years the University has offered faculty an option to participate in an Accidental Death and Dismemberment Plan. The insurance is available in increments of $5,000 from a minimum of $25,000 to a maximum of $200,000. The University contributes a portion of the premium costs ($1,000 per month) for the approximately 780 participants.

The Faculty Benefits Committee recommends that the program be continued because of its popularity but that the University's contribution be discontinued. We concur with the Committee's proposal and recommend that the University's contribution be discontinued effective April 1, 1989.



  • In conclusion, the following items should be presented at the January Board meeting.
  • 1. TIAA Disability Program: The percentage of salary continuation should be increased from 60% to 66-2/3% and the monthly cap should be raised from $3,000 to $6,000. These changes should be effective January 1, 1989.
  • 2. TIAA Life Insurance for Faculty Retirees: The insurance should be increased from $2,000 to $5,000 effective April 1, 1989.
  • 3. Eligibility for Faculty Retiree Life Insurance: Eligibility for the TIAA Life Insurance program should be changed to cover retirees at least age 55 with five or more years of service if the sum of the age and service is 70 or greater. This change should be effective April 1, 1989.
  • 4. Accidental Death and Dismemberment: University contributions to the program should be discontinued effective April 1, 1989.
