Staff Policy 46/Administrative Leave: This policy has been revised to clarify and simplify its administration, and to grant paid leave when exempt employees in career positions are subpoenaed to serve as witnesses in non-University proceedings.

Staff Policy 51/Reduced Fee Enrollment: This policy has been revised to clarify The Regents' intent that the fee reduction applies only if the employee's enrollment in University of California courses does not exceed three courses or nine units, whichever limit provides the greatest benefits to the employee.
