The Board of Trustees made the honorable decision to extend to university employees' health benefits beyond the institution of marriage. But this plan has been attacked by two local state representatives, who fail to understand the package’s importance and relevance to an inclusive, competitive university. Dave Agema. R-CJrandville. and Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, have been working to get other state legislators to revoke the live-in benefits package recently implemented by GVSU. They claim the package is unconstitutional and a violation of same-sex partner regulations. Will this new plan provide health benefits to same-sex couples? Of course it will. But what Agemaand Meekhof do not see is these benefits are not exclusive to same-sex couples, but rather any loved one of a university employee. These two representatives must look at the larger issue here: The university is doing the responsible thing by taking care of its employees. What used to be available to only married couples will now cover all of the loved ones on GVSU’s staff. This package is all about inclusion. GVSU is one of many public universities, including the University of Michigan, GVL / Elliot Slenk Michigan Suite, Central. Northern. Saginaw Valley and Eastern universities, to adopt YOUR INSIGHTS partner benefits plans. It was important the university adopt this kind of health care package to remain competitive for high-quality faculty, who might otherwise teach elsewhere to receive health care for their loved ones. If you could ask GVSU President Thomas J. Haas In the long run, the cost of this program is medial and one the university should be willing to pay if it is serious about becoming an inclusive, accepting campus that one question, what would it be? can compete with other schtxils for top talent. This issue here is about taking care of all loved ones, regardless of personal beliefs, and remaining competitive in an increasingly competitive faculty recruiting market. GVSU made a tough choice, but it was the right one. Now all GVSU employees have the opportunity to keep their loved ones healthy.
