[Cobo] ACA Implementation Question

[Kuwitzky, Chris]

OU will implement the ACA in January.  We are still in discussions about what is an appropriate ratio for non-instructional hours to classroom hours for adjuncts.  However, we currently cover employees at 20 hours a week so it's less of an issue for OU than for some other higher education organizations.

OSU will be in compliance with the majority of the 2014 mandate.  We are currently in discussions regarding how adjunct hours will be calculated pursuant to the Act.

UCO plans to implement January 2015 but are already implementing changes to policy and procedure that bring us into compliance currently.  We are using a calculation of 1.22 non-instructional hours for each credit hour (instructional hour).  A 3- credit hour course would equate to 6.66 hours worked per week.

Business Officers:

Does your institution plan to implement ACA (Affordable Care Act) effective January 1, 2014 or will your institution wait until January 1, 2015 to implement. Also how does your institution intends to calculation adjunct faculty hours as it applies to ACA.

TCC - Plans to waits until January 1, 2015, we also will look at adjunct faculty earning 2 hours of work for each credit hour taught (1 hour for class time qualifies for 1 hour for preparation time).

Thank you,
