Faculty and Staff Employee Assistance Program
Maternity Leave and Clock Stop
The University of Nebraska at Omaha prohibits discrimination on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable law, including discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, in the administration of its programs and activities. UNO will neither require nor prohibit leaves of absence for reason of pregnancy or childbirth-related concerns.
UNO Full-Time Faculty and tenure clock extension:
Currently, the UNO American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Collective Bargaining Agreement (“the contract”) allows for a full year clock stop for women employees who have a note from their physician deeming their pregnancy a disability because they are unable to perform their regularly-assigned duties without injury. This includes a period greater than five consecutive working days up to a maximum of six consecutive months.
Likewise a faculty member who becomes the parent of a child by birth or adoption will automatically qualify for a one-year extension of the maximum period of full-time service prior to the acquisition of continuous appointment. This service will be extended by one year for each child, including twins, and other multiple births or adoptions. (AAUP Bargaining agreement 3.9.3 and 3.9.3.5).
For questions relating to UNO Faculty Human Resources, Leave Policies, Annual Review, and Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure guidelines, contact Assistant Vice Chancellor for Faculty Affairs Candice Batton.

Collective Bargaining Agreement Questions?
Any specific questions about the contract can be addressed to the AAUP-UNO Executive Committee, and any concerns should be shared with the Grievance Officer Angela Eikenberry. See the full Collective Bargaining Agreement at unoaaup.org/.
Graduate Students and clock stop:
The University of Nebraska at Omaha CCSGE recognizes the importance of balancing the family and academic needs of students. Accommodation is not a leave of absence, and the expectation is that the student benefiting from accommodation will remain engaged in her or his academic and research work even if at a reduced level (assuming the good health of the student and the infant or child).
In addition, UNO will reasonably accommodate its graduate students, including pregnant students, so that they may continue to make progress toward the completion of their degree. Any student who believes that they have not been treated equitably under the provisions of this policy may file a grievance.
Doctoral Students may request a leave of absence from the university for up to one (1) year, including pregnancy. In consultation with their department/school and their supervisory committee, students should define the program modifications the leave of absence requires. Requests should indicate a reason for leaving and the expected date of return to the university.
If approval is granted, the time limits on the granting of the doctoral degree will be frozen for the time specified (up to one year). Students should file a request with their supervisory committee chair who will forward it to the Dean for Graduate Studies. Approval of the Dean for Graduate Studies is required prior to taking the leave of absence. See more at Office of Graduate Studies.
