Abstract
Professor Rachel Poole, who was adopting a child from Russia at the end of September, met with her dean because she wanted one week of leave for travel and an additional eight weeks to help the boy adjust to his new surroundings. The dean suggested that her sole option was to take a one-semester personal leave without pay. Professor Fred Thompson was struggling to care for his ailing mother, who was in the hospital with a broken hip, while he lived 3,000 miles away. He was not familiar with his institution's policies on leave and so continued to teach his classes, while trying to coordinate his mother's care through longdistance phone calls.
