Covid-Related Caregiver Modified Duties
To help address the disparate impact of COVID-19 on faculty who are under the purview of Academic Personnel Manual 760-28 with dependent care responsibilities, the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the Academic Personnel Services Office proposed a modification of existing policies, and, on October 29, 2020, received approval from UC Provost and Executive Vice President Michael Brown to implement the interim COVID Care Modified Duties Program (CCMD) as a temporary exception to policy. See eligibility and program terms for more information.
