Policy – Following discussions of the constituency
senates, discussions at University Council, and several e-mail messages
from employees, I am removing from the proposed policy revision
the section that requires employees to make up the work hours missed
while attending class. Please note that classes taken during work
hours should lead toward a degree or to the professional development
of the employee, as determined by the employee and the supervisor.
As stated in both the old policy and the revised proposal, time
off from work cannot be permitted if it compromises the ability
of the office to function properly. For the text showing changes
to these policy sections, here is the link: http://inside.enmu.edu/page.php?pid=165 ENMU Recycles Empty
