Revised and New Academic Personnel Policies

The University has issued revised Academic Personnel Policy 710, Leaves of Absence/Sick Leave/Medical Leave; and new Academic Personnel Policies 711, Reasonable Accommodation for Academic Appointees with Disabilities; and 080 Medical Separation. The revised and new policies will be effective July 1, 2008.

These revised and new policies codify certain sick leave and medical leave provisions for academic appointees, establish a systemwide framework to support the University’s commitment to reasonable accommodation for academic appointees who are disabled or who become disabled, and introduce a medical separation policy for academic appointees.

The new and revised policies are available at the following Web sites:
