The NYS/UUP Joint Labor-Management Committee has announced application deadlines for the Dr. Nuala McGann Drescher Leave Program. This affirmative action/diversity leave program enhances employment opportunities for UUP-represented employees who are preparing for permanent or continuing appointments with preference given to minorities, women, employees with disabilities, and employees with military status. Types of support available include payment of employee’s regular salary by the campus, salary for a replacement, and other related expenses for research or study with a justification. Further information, guidelines, and application forms can be found online.     

In order to meet the program application deadlines, nomination packets should be submitted to the provost or vice president/CIO/CDO a month before the program deadline to allow time for requesting campus endorsement, financial commitment, and any required financial statements. Decisions regarding campus funding will be based on available institutional resources.

For leaves in spring semester 2015: submit application package to provost/VP/CIO/CDO by September 8, 2014 (program application deadline is October 8, 2014).
