B. Parental Delay of Tenure Consideration

For tenure‐track faculty, requests for modified duties may be combined with requests for parental delay of consideration for tenure as specified in the Faculty Handbook. A faculty member who is the primary care‐giver for a newly born or newly adopted child may postpone tenure consideration for up to one year per event up to a maximum number of two years of delay, including all other types of leave. All such delays should be requested and approved by the dean and the provost before the fifth, or final, year of pre‐tenure service.
