Pursuant to the tentative successor Agreement reached on October 30, 1986, the parties agree to the following with respect to the Board of Trustees Tuition Remission Policy:

1. Any tuition remission benefits not currently offered in the system of public higher education, if extended by the Board of Trustees tuition remission policy, shall be applicable to all MSP/FSU/MTA/NEA bargaining unit members for use within the University of Massachusetts system, exclusive of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center;

2. No existing benefits set forth in Trustee Document T82-054A, tuition waiver policy, shall be diminished by the Board of Trustees tuition remission policy;

3. Having once been implemented, the tuition remission policy shall not be diminished during the term of this Agreement.

The parties acknowledge that the University will be implementing new administrative computing and payroll systems. To ensure that the changes required by these systems are introduced and implemented in the most effective manner, the Union agrees to support the University's implementation and accepts such changes to business practices, procedures, and functions as are necessary to achieve such implementation (e.g., the change from a weekly to a biweekly payroll system). The University and the Union will establish a special Labor-Management Committee made up of an equal number of Union representatives and Management representatives. This committee shall be the sole forum for the parties to discuss any issues of impact to the bargaining unit arising from the implementation of the systems. The parties will reopen negotiations on this subject prior to implementing any change which has the effect of reducing a unit member's pay in any academic year.

The University and the Union agree that all employees shall have their net salary checks electronically forwarded to an account or accounts selected by each employee.

The University will provide the Union with an list, on an annual basis, of any bargaining unit members who, under the terms of Article 30.2, do not receive the benefits of the cost items in this Agreement.

The Union will have a representative on the Information Technology Council on the Amherst campus and analogous group on the Boston campus.
