General Personnel Policies

The DEO is responsible for seeing that the department is in compliance with state and federal laws that affect faculty and non-academic staff and for administering the personnel policies stated in the University Operations Manual. These include

• the Disability Protection Policy (Operations Manual, III-7; see also www.uiowa.edu/~hrpersvc/fsds),
• the Parental Leave Policy (Operations Manual, III-22.8), and
• the University procedures for implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act (Operations Manual, III-22.7, see also www.uiowa.edu/~hrpersvc/relations/fmlaref.html).

These and other general personnel policies that are particularly relevant to Liberal Arts & Sciences departments are also summarized briefly under "Faculty Rights and Responsibilities" on this website.
