Kim Tanzer, chair of the Faculty Senate, said she could understand why some faculty might view the affidavit as invasive.
Ya think???

I'd be interested in knowing how they'd verify this.

niversity of Florida employees have to pledge that they're having sex with their domestic partners before qualifying for benefits under a new health care plan at the university. I predicted this like 15 or 20 years ago when people first started grumbling about benefits for same sex "partners". It's the only logical outcome. Now the next step is for long time heterosexual roomates to apply for benefits, make it obvious that they're heterosexual and then challenge the the University to prove that they're NOT having sex. When they investigate, sue the pants off them for not applying the same standards to married people and gay partnerships. If they're going to investigate one, they're going to have to investigate everyone.
The "old" way, married men and women, was the most defensible policy legally.

Is the pledge required if the partners are legally married? I know lots of married people that might not be able to qualify if it is. Wouldn't that be ironic. Married people not eligible for "partner" benefits, while those just shacked up are?

Is there a threshold for frequency? If the frequency of sex drops off too much, do you lose your benefits?
To: ClearCase_guy
What is the definition of sex?

I see an interesting new scheme for college students to get laid developing at UF...

Depends on the definition of "is" I think.

So to speak.

Hmmmmm, that's even better than handing your spouse an aspirin.

That's actually an interesting question. Bill and Monica said they were not "having sex" since it was just an oral rendez-vous. Perhaps it is impossible for lesbians to have sex. Perhaps lesbians will be denied benefits.
But, I suspect the definition will depend on the agenda of the reviewer.
To: Millee
What happens if you have more than one "partner".
I can foresee a group of guys or girls who graduate from college and end up rooming together. First one who gets a job w/insurance claims the rest as "partners" and gets health insurance in return for beer.
To: Millee
I've can understand bending over backwards to get insured, but bending over forwards seems a little extreme. Is the plan they qualify for called an HoMO?

I like that. The UF is so generous, they promise to provide benefits to everyone with whom their employees have sex!
To: LIConFem
OK, the room's ready. When you're in the act, give us the signal, and we will come in to verify. Once the act is complete we'll issue your insurance card.
