Roxanne-
At Bates- Maternity leave is a short term medical disability leave. The
specifics are outlined under
http://abacus.bates.edu/acad/pubs/FacHB/benefits.html#6.
Yes it is paid. We have no specific policy for maternity leave.
I was paid by the NIH on my postdoc grant and by my faculty advisor as a grad
student for my two leaves.
Six weeks is a very reasonable request- the NIH only pays for four on the NRSA
awards...
Congratulations!
Paula
