A report by the Family, Gender and Tenure Project at the University says professors requesting extended parental paid leave are significantly more likely to receive it at a private university than a public university, according to a report in the Chronicle.
After examining the results of their national study of 168 institutions, Project Director Charmaine Yoest and University Politics Prof. Steven E. Rhoads concluded that 34 percent of private institutions studied offered extended paid leave, while only 18 percent of public universities did so.
The overall results averaged out to 26 percent, but an additional 23 percent of institutions reported that professors could work out extended leaves informally, according to the Chronicle.
