While maximum caps are something an entry level or simply younger employee can plan around, they are an unacceptable glass ceiling for more recent hires and those in areas of specialized expertise that Midd requires. What kind of incentive is this for staff with highly marketable skills, who’ve patiently waited through a salary freeze, and who may have only newly-acquired 401 (k)s?

Given that there are so few job ladders at Middlebury for staff, and therefore no chance of promotion (and higher salary), this could be a way to compensate for what will actually be a lower salary if benefit costs rise.
