Work-Life Balance Task Force, Final Report

In the fall of 2007, Deputy Provost Ken Warren and Associate Provost Mary Harvey recommended to Provost Thomas Rosenbaum that a Task Force be formed to examine the current state of University policies and practices in light of the efforts being undertaken at peer institutions to better accommodate the current work-life needs of our faculty and staff. Provost Rosenbaum accepted the recommendation and asked Warren and Harvey to convene a Task Force to assess the University's response to the demands of work-life balance and to make recommendations concerning policies, practices, and programs that would enhance the ability of members of the University community to function productively in both their professional and personal lives. This report contains the findings and recommendations of the Task Force.
