year the UC system as a whole is experiencing tremendous increases in insurance
costs. The UCR campus alone is seeing an overall 53.3% increase in insurance
costs for FY 2008-09, which is due to an increase in all insurance premiums
(45.5%) and the introduction of the Be Smart About Safety assessment for GL,
EP, Auto Liability, Property, and Miscellaneous Insurance programs (7.8%). We
are hoping that the introduction of Be Smart About Safety programs for the previously
mentioned insurance programs will help our campus to reduce our insurance costs
in the future. In fact, the Office of the President has stated that if the Be
Smart About Safety Program assessments had not been instituted our insurance
costs for FY 2008-09 would have been even higher. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
