Accordingly, the Office of the Provost is asking the Standing Committee to identify work/life balance challenges, diagnose the underlying problems, and recommend policies and best practices to support our colleagues. As its overall charge, the Standing Committee examines policies and makes recommendations for revisions of these or for the implementation of new guidelines; reviews the University’s climate surveys to identify issues and concerns to different faculty constituents; and addresses questions that are both campus-wide and school specific. Since its inception in spring 2018, the Standing Committee has worked on identifying concerns regarding parental leave, lactation room initiatives, elder care benefits, distribution of service roles and strategies to better communicate resources to our faculty members among others. The Committee Chair welcomes additional suggestions from Danforth Campus colleagues.
For information about the work of the Standing Committee on Faculty Work/Life Balance, to ask questions, or to make recommendations for consideration, please contact the chair Stephanie Kirk.
