         <\/p>\n

        MOU- Immigration Status and Work Authorization<\/strong><\/p>\n

        In response to the Union\u2019s new proposed article regarding immigration, the Employer proposed the University would not unreasonably deny requests for vacation time off for the purpose of attending appointments, hearings, and\/or proceedings related to immigration or citizenship status of the ASE or their spouse, registered domestic partner, child, or parent scheduled by federal immigration officials or the U.S. Department of State. All vacation time off requests would need to be submitted according to departmental policy.<\/p>\n
