Name: Prof. Phaedra C. Pezzullo on Oct 17, 2010Comments: The ethics of the questionnaire presented are deeply fraught (ex., asking if we attend religious services as part of our health profile). The idea of that information going into a corporation's database also raises serious questions. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the goals and values of this approach. It would be helpful to delay. Please, do consider these concerns.Flag

Name: Maria Bucur-Deckard on Oct 17, 2010Comments: the health engagement plan doesn't currently show a clear policy for how to deal with people with complex health issues that might make it impossible for them to 'improve' their biometric measuring; nor does it take into account important differences between most faculty in most staff in terms of their financial and time-management abilities to respond to the recommendations of the plan. finally, we don't know if any of this work and effort will in fact result in any beneficial results for the university or for those individuals participating in the plan, in terms of cutting costs. we are flying blind, without a map.Flag

Name: Mary L. Gray on Oct 17, 2010Comments: I think employee engagement and an honest discussion of the pros and cons of this initiative are critical to its success. My thanks to the employees who drafted this petition. I hope those interested will also make their voices and questions known to the BFC's Ad Hoc Subcommittee on this issue (see the BFC website for more information).Flag

Name: Michael Alexeev on Oct 17, 2010Comments: Thanks for starting the petition. I have some serious issues with the details of HEP, but I am particularly concerned with the way it has been introduced without any meaningful public review. Moreover, as far as I know, even the internal administrative review has been superficial at best and perhaps even irresponsible.Flag

Name: Michel Chaouli on Oct 17, 2010Comments: A program of this range ought to be reviewed by the appropriate faculty institutions, such as the BFC and UFC. This is simply what faculty governance entails. It will make it more likely for there to be broad and deep support for the outcome of deliberations.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Oct 17, 2010Comments: It does seem to me that before IU starts taking blood samples, there are some other steps it could take to help create a healthier culture on campus--like, oh, I don't know, not charging faculty $20 a month to use the gym.Flag

Name: Alyce Miller on Oct 17, 2010Comments: In addition, while I am completely supportive of incentives to encourage people to lead healthy lifestyles, I would like to see the University provide a model by offering many options for healthful foods (the machines that serve snacks and the fast-food restaurants in the IMU do just the opposite). If we want people to be healthy, the University should eliminate the junk food factor on campus, . I would also like to suggest that free exercise classes be made available for staff, as well as time during their busy days to take advantage of physical activity. As a faculty member, I remain very concerned that the currently evolving policies remain amorphous, and while I have already completed the online questionnaires and the biometric testing, I am unclear what the next steps are, or how any of this will be implemented.Flag

Name: Gary Ebbs on Oct 17, 2010Comments: I am concerned that the IU Health Engagement Program will create a two-tiered health insurance system at IU, one that penalizes those who are least healthy and thereby undermines the whole point of health insurance, which is to spread costs and risks evenly across the largest possible number of people.Flag

Name: Gretchen Clearwater on Oct 18, 2010Comments: The IU Health Engagement Program penalizes employees with preexisting health issues. It is not fair to charge those with health issues beyond their control a higher premium. One possible way to to amend this situation would be for IU to open its facilities such as the sports rec. center at no cost to it's employees. And to provide for those with serious issues, such as needing water aerobics time out for work to go to sessions.Flag
