The DEO contacts the Executive Associate Dean to discuss parental, family, and medical leaves for faculty. The Executive Associate Dean also works with the DEO to arrange family-centered schedules for faculty under these policies while ensuring that departments can fulfill their teaching missions.
Faculty ordinarily arrange for coverage of teaching and office hours during brief illnesses.
When an illness makes it necessary to hire a replacement instructor, the faculty member must complete a sick leave form reporting the absence. A model letter for this purpose is available from the Executive Associate Dean. The policy also allows parents to adapt their work schedule and duties to help reduce conflict with parental obligations. Events Copyright 2000. The University of Iowa, College of Liberal Arts.
