A member of the standing faculty who bears a child will be relieved of teaching duties, without loss of salary or benefits, during an academic semester if incapacity due to the prenatal, delivery and recovery period would reasonably require her to interrupt the teaching of her courses in that semester for three or more weeks. For purposes of determining whether teaching would be interrupted, it is presumed that a woman will be incapacitated for six weeks following delivery. In such cases, the chair of the department or the dean of the school, in consultation with the Provost's Office, will make such arrangements as are necessary and appropriate with regard to covering her teaching responsibilities, including the canceling of an affected course or the employment of substitute instructors. This relief from teaching duties is not a leave of absence. Outside the period of incapacity, and as compatible with her particular situation, the faculty member will be expected to meet her other normal departmental and University responsibilities, including research, committee membership, and advising. The preceding sentence does not authorize assignment of additional such duties to compensate for the period of necessary absence from the job.
