	A workshop is being held at Rutgers University on October 1, 1994 to
explore the various approaches that have been successful at obtaining DP
benefits. The goal of the workshop is to develop strategies that could be
used at other campuses and to help people who are just beginning the
discussion with their administrators. Participation is open to faculty, staff
and administrators. Although the focus will be predominately the campus
setting, industrial participation is also welcomed.


Scope of the Workshop
---------------------

	This workshop will focus on the experiences at a number of
	campuses to obtain DP benefits. By sharing our successes
	and our failures, we can learn from each other and make it
	easier for all of us. We hope to bring together a wide range
	of people working to obtain DP benefits on their campuses and
	administrators responsible for benefits programs.


Objectives
----------

	1) Study those campuses where DP benefits have been obtained
	   to find out what works and what doesn't.
	2) Develop a strategy that focuses on negotiation rather than
	   confrontation or litigation.
	3) Institute a national clearinghouse for information on the
	   DP benefits struggle.


Intended Audience
-----------------

	1) Administrators responsible for employee benefits packages.
	2) Faculty and staff who would like to organize on their campuses.
