Resolution 84-36 ‘L 2 New Business: Hough asked for a report on the problems involved for female faculty and staff in regards to E.D.S. and the listing of dependents. Smith explained that the problem has been referred to the Faculty Welfare Committee of the Faculty Assembly so that it can be addressed on a state-wide level. The present policy of EDS requires that if a husband and wife both work for the stae, dependents must be listed on the male's contract. On the local level this has created. a problem for dependents of female faculty and staff in regards to the discount offered by the Medical School. Jim Rees asked why this was a problem. Mayberry explained that for women faculty ‘in her position, with a husband working for the state but not an ECU faculty member, her dependents could not receive the 25% discount from the Medical School. The Medical School defines a dependent according to the way in which they are listed on the EDS policy. Hough asked if a reply had been received to the letter written by the Chairman. Smith replied in the negative. Questions were raised concerning the December meeting of the Faculty Senate which will take place during the exam period.
