Personal Support
Support for Faculty Parents and Caregivers
The School of Management is committed to assisting faculty parents and caregivers who face unique challenges while pursuing their teaching and research career.
To assist faculty with balancing professional and personal responsibilities, the campus offers a program allowing tenure-track faculty to request an adjustment of work responsibilities during the semester of a birth or adoption, or during the semester following a birth or adoption (Parental Leave General Guidelines can be found here).
The decision regarding the semester in which the adjustment will take place will be based on a discussion between the faculty member and the dean, in consultation with the department chair. The decision should take into account the needs of the faculty member, the department, and the college. During this adjustment period, the faculty member may have their professional obligation allocated exclusively to research and service.
Upon the faculty member’s request, the tenure clock will be stopped for up to one year following the birth or adoption of a child or foster placement. This form should be submitted to the dean’s office, which will forward it to HR for processing.
Binghamton University also participates in the New York State Paid Family Leave Program, which provides eligible employees with paid time off to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child, to care for a family member with a serious health condition, or to assist loved ones when a spouse, domestic partner, child or parent is deployed abroad on active military service.
Questions about these leave policies may be directed to the Assistant Director of Human Resources Vicki Metritikas at vmetriti@binghamton.edu.
Employee Assistance Program
The Binghamton University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is an assessment, referral and consultation service available to University faculty, staff, graduate student employees, retirees and their dependents. When personal or work-related problems become difficult to manage, the EAP can help. EAP staff provide confidential, professional, work-site based guidance at no cost. EAP offers supervisory consultations as well as individualized assessment and referral to appropriate community and professional resources. In addition, special programs and lunchtime workshops are coordinated by EAP throughout the year.
Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Through education and collaboration, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) aims to foster a broad and inclusive campus culture. Resilience and strength come from the diversity of ideas, backgrounds and perspectives. No matter where faculty, staff, and students are from (or where they are going), they belong at Binghamton University.
Binghamton University Women
Binghamton University Women (BUW) is a social organization bringing together women from across the University – staff, faculty, retirees and spouses/partners – for fellowship and service. Its members support the entire life cycle of University women through programs that build community and raise funds for scholarships and awards for women students.
