                          Family Care ProposalAdds Domestic Partners
 Proposed 
                          Modification to Family Care and Medical Leave Policy 
                            The Laboratory proposes to modify its personnel policy 
                          by revising 2.13(B) (Family Care and Medical Leave - 
                          FMLA) by adding same- or opposite-sex domestic partners 
                          to the list of individuals requiring care for whom an 
                          employee may request FMLA. This change will conform 
                          Laboratory FMLA policy to UC Staff policy. These changes 
                          affect non-represented employees only. Represented employees 
                          should review their union agreements or contact their 
                          union representatives for information regarding their 
                          situation. Full text of the policy can be found here. 
                          Those who wish to comment on this change must do so 
                          by e-mail or in writing by April 7 to Mary Bishop, 
                          Policies Analyst, at 937R0600, or [email protected].

                        fellowships are awarded annually to recognize and support 
                        young scientists and scholars in seven fields: chemistry, 
                        computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer
