Text Attachment | Dear Adam,
Thank you for your submission of EA Resolution 7: Bereavement Policy. I have consulted with Vice President Opperman regarding our current policy and your recommended changes.
You have asked for two adjustments.
VP Opperman and I agree with your recommendation and will add “surrogate parent” based on the definition you provided.
Vice President Opperman asked her team to review the bereavement leaves provided by our peer institutions. While some do offer 5 days of funeral leave, most have a policy similar to ours. At this time of very serious financial stress, we cannot agree to this change, which involves cost to the university.
Thank you again for bringing this forward.
Sincerely,
Martha Pollack
