Letter of Support from U.Va., GMU, and W&M
In order to be able to recruit top faculty and staff, Virginia universities need to be able to offer competitive benefits. We support the proposed regulatory change that would allow the state to extend health benefits to adults other than spouses and incapacitated adult children, because it is a benefit offered at many of our peer institutions as well as major corporations.
