  2. Summer 2008 • Graduate Student Task Force on Research & Funding • Darwin Celebrations • Graduate Student Health Insurance • International Students Concerns • Budget

  3. SHI Health Insurance • University of Cincinnati has eliminated its offering of health insurance with dependent coverage to its undergraduate and graduate students in 2007. • The logic behind the decision was that the students with no dependents who bought health insurance should not have to share the burden of paying for students with dependents, overall. • It is suggested that UC offers an alternative pricing for those students who wish to buy dependent insurance as some of our benchmarked institutions do already.

  4. Results so far.. • The task force will make the recommendation of increasing the GA/TA/RA stipends to $1508 to the University President-Dr. Nancy Zimpher. • Based on benchmarking data, Graduate school also will recommend increasing the partial SHI cover to a full one.

  5. School Year 2008-2009 • Robert’s Rules of Order • Constitution & Bylaws • Committee Participation-increase graduate student voice at the administration level. More active GSA participation is necessary. Advocacy. • Research & Publishing Initiatives. • Darwin Celebrations. • Programming-Collaborations with other UC offices to create larger scale events for graduate students. • Website
