TUITION CONTRIBUTION. The Tuition Contribution benefit will be administered in accordance with the NIU BOT regulations.
TUITION CONTRIBUTION. Section 27.1 The Company will permit all eligible regular full-time employees to participate in the Xxxx Disney Company and Affiliated Companies Educational Reimbursement Plan under the terms and conditions of the Program prevailing during the period of the employee's participation. However, no employee will be permitted to participate in the Plan during any period in which the employee is on a leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid. During the negotiations for the 2007-2011 Master Agreement, the parties discussed the Union’s proposal seeking reimbursement for fees paid by staff employees to participate in the CWA-NETT Academy or BURST Courses under the Company’s Educational Reimbursement Plan. After investigating the matter, however, the Company determined that such fees are not reimbursable under the Plan because, to the Company’s knowledge, such courses are not taken at an accredited institution for credit units or continuing education units, and such employees do not receive letter grades for such courses, as required under the terms of the Plan. Nonetheless, during the term of the 2007-2011 Master Agreement, the Company will participate in a New Technology Training Reimbursement Committee comprised of two NABET-CWA officials and two Company representatives, which will meet at reasonable times beginning sixty (60) days after notice of ratification of such Master Agreement. The purpose of such committee shall be to discuss and determine whether there are available courses in new technology relevant to the broadcast television industry that would be covered under the Company’s Educational Reimbursement Plan.
