Parental Accomodation Policy at University of Michigan

 

According to The Michigan Daily, the “the Rackham Graduate School has passed a policy granting time off to new parents.” This policy is open to men and women who are either adopting a child 6 or under, or are expecting to give birth. The students will receive six weeks off with “lightened deadlines and expectations.”

Previously, Graduate Student Instructors could lose insurance coverage if they took time off to care for a child, but because of this policy, that will no longer be the case.
