The Faculty Guide
and Bylaws Committee Proposed the following Amendment to the Faculty Guide
Whereas there are no appropriate provisions in the Faculty Guide for maternity
or caregiver leaves,
Be it resolved, the Faculty Senate proposes the following addition to the
Faculty Guide:
6.7 Leaves for Maternity or Caregivers
The university recognizes the needs of expectant mothers, and neonatal,
adoption, and close relation caregivers. For this purpose, faculty members are
entitled to a leave or leaves for which the policies and procedures for
determining the occurrence, length, benefits, and salary shall be determined
with the advice and consent of the Faculty Senate. For faculty members without
tenure, a leave of absence shall not count as a part of the probationary period
(see Article 3) unless this provision is waived in writing by the individual and
the provost.
