We expect annual cost savings of approximately $ 1.4 million from improved contract pricing as well as salary savings from reduced staffing requirements . Results will be shared with departments and units in time for them to incorporate strategies for addressing survey results into their three-year plans . Bird bones are actually hollow ( air filled ) in the living animal , presumably for lightness , but air also circulates within their skeleton and may assist with respiration . At the risk of oversimplifying the outcome , I will say that , in short , the Commission concluded that there is no “ one size fits all ” approach to addressing the rising costs of higher education or our individual missions . This results from consolidation of two existing health plans into the Penn State Choice plan to achieve wellness-focused , managed health care coverage while consolidating risk pools . The Faculty / Staff survey was conducted during spring semester of this year . I provide you with this background because these groups are “ leading the charge ” for the national higher education agenda .
