Section 9.3  Health Insurance
     The Board agrees during the term of this Agreement to
      provide group health insurance benefits to eligible
      bargaining unit members in accordance with the following
      provisions:
     Subdivision 9.31  1997-99 Health Insurance Contribution
     Effective July 1, 1997, the Board shall contribute
      toward the premium of eligible bargaining unit members
      the full cost of premiums for faculty members having
      individual coverage or seventy-five percent (75%) of the
      premium per month for faculty members having dependent
      coverage.  The remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of
      the dependent cost shall be borne by the faculty member
      and paid by payroll deduction.  In the event a faculty
      member has a spouse also in the bargaining unit, the
      Board shall contribute an additional individual
      contribution toward the purchase of dependent coverage
      or the seventy-five percent (75%) regular contribution
      toward dependent coverage, whichever is greater.
     Subdivision 9.32  Eligibility
     Eligible unit members, as used in this section, are
      those who hold a temporary, term, probationary, or
      tenure appointment involving service of half time or
      greater for a period of at least nine (9) months (an
      academic year).  In the event a temporary faculty member
      initially appointed for a single semester is continued
      beyond the original appointment for an additional
      semester(s), such faculty member shall be eligible for
      health insurance contributions effective at the
      commencement of the second semester to continue as long
      as the temporary faculty member is continuously
      employed. 
     Subdivision 9.33  Change in Coverage
     The parties agree that there will be no substantial
      change in the current health insurance coverage during
      the term of this Agreement except by agreement of the
      parties.
