Family Leave Issues
Committee
–
Karen Oslund, Department of History
In Fall 2008,
Towson AAUP formed a new committee:
Family Leave Issues Committee (FLIC). The FLIC has been
charged with writing a proposal to the University Senate for a
consistent policy on family leave, including leave taken for child birth
and adoption, leave for elder care, or for the illness of family
members. Towson University, like the rest of the University of Mayland
system, currently allows employees in these circumstances to take unpaid
leave, in accordance with the federal law (the Family and Medical Leave
Act). Presently, we are collecting information on policies of peer
institutions, and we hope to complete and present this proposal by Fall
2009. Anyone wishing to work on this issue or share personal stories
relevant to this topic is urged to contact the chair of FLIC, Karen
Oslund, Department of History, at
koslund@towson.edu.
See the
Towson
AAUP Bylaws for a list of all designated committees.
