AMENDMENT TO THE FACULTY LEAVE POLICIES

The following resolution was adopted:

  • RESOLVED that family leave policies for faculty on continuing contract be and they are hereby approved as follows:
  • Maternity Leave of no more than six weeks will be granted for pregnancy and childbirth (including pre-delivery, delivery and postpartum). There is a presumption of disability, therefore no physician's statement will be required. The University shall continue full salary and fringe benefits during the period of the maternity leave. When required for medical reasons, anything beyond the six week period would be covered under the University's policy on temporary disability leave with pay for up to six months. In that event, the maternity leave is considered part of the total six month period for temporary disability.
  • Parental Leave: In the event of childbirth, the mother or father may request leave without pay for up to a three week period. The leave must be requested within two months following childbirth. Allowable fringe benefits except retirement will be continued by the University.
