of the current policies put in place to enable caregivers and parents. I would like to gather information from adjunct, tenure-track, and tenured professors who became parents or caregivers during their service in academia and I wondered if you would be willing
to participate via blind survey. Please feel free to share with any colleagues who would be interested in participating. Thank you for your help!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
