Good News from Rutgers

August 21st, 2007

We’re proud to note today that the university associated with our publisher, Rutgers, is making family life easier for their faculty:

Eight weeks paid leave from teaching and service obligations for both faculty and TA/GAs of any gender who become parents (biological or adoptive). For birth mothers, these eight weeks are in addition to the previous contract’s six weeks of paid disability leave, resulting in fourteen weeks—an entire semester—of paid leave.

They’ve negotiated a host of other benefits, too. Read the whole story over at the AAUP website.
