The University invites comments on proposed revisions to Section 759 of the Academic Personnel Manual: APM - 759, Leaves of Absence/Other Leaves Without Pay
In May 2021, the Regents Working Group on Innovation Transfer and Entrepreneurship (“Regents Working Group”) recommended in its final report that APM - 759 be revised to explicitly state that a leave without pay can be used for innovation and entrepreneurship pursuits. The proposed revisions to APM - 759 are responsive to the Regents Working Group recommendation.
The proposed revisions to APM - 759 are posted to the Academic Personnel and Programs website under the “Systemwide Review” tab. It may also be viewed at https://ucanr.edu/sites/anrstaff/Administration/Business_Operations/Controller/Administrative_Policies_-_Business_Contracts/Policy_and_administrative_handbooks/ANR_Administrative_Handbook/Recent_Updates.
If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Robin Sanchez at rgsanchez@ucanr.edu, no later than Jan. 21, 2022. Please indicate “APM-759 Employee Comment” in the subject line.
