5



members of the Board discussed the question of whether or not the University
should grant a military leave plus a regular vacation leave for those members
of the Military Reserve required to go to summer camp, or whether the
military leave should be a part of the regulation vacation granted by the Uni-
versity.  The question was referred to the Executive Committee for further
s tudy.

         The Executive Committee discussed the question further and recalled
that the practice in other institutions did not seem to follow uniform policy.
Some of these institutions that gave two weeks vacation did grant two weeks
military leave. Some other institutions that gave four weeks vacation did not
grant military leave even though there were some exceptions to this practice.
It seemed to be the consensus of the members of the Committee that, since
the University did grant a four weeks vacation leave, additional leave should
not be granted to Military Reserve personnel required to spend two weeks in a
military summer camp.

University, s four weeks vacation, the request for two additional weeks was
denied.
