Smoking Policy and Health Insurance Refunds

Posted: August 2, 2012

Staff Council (the combined leadership teams of CSAC and USAC) met with Dr. Henry Limouze, Associate Provost for Faculty and Staff Affairs, on August 1 for our monthly meeting.  At that meeting, Dr. Limouze was asked what is the status of the smoking policy and the health insurance refund.

At this time, the president's cabinet is reviewing the Board of Regents "tobacco-free campus" proposal and crafting a draft of a policy to be disseminated to faculty,staff, and students for input.

With regards to the health insurance refunds, Wright State is self-insured and so the Division of Business and Fiscal Affairs is examining how this federal regulation will impact Wright State.
