That might be a good project for the Benefits COmmittee ○ When you presented to the Senate, was there anything that was supported or did you receive any push back? ■ Not really. Lots of questions. When we set up the committee we did receive the feedback of making sure to focus on not just people with children, but to think more holistically about work-life ○ What is the status Tuition Remission and is it on a committee? ■ Yes, but the committee is on hiatus right now due to waiting for more information from the tax bill. Hopefully more soon on this issue!

To: University Senate Members ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

From: Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Work Life Balance ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Subject: Final Report of the New York University Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Work Life ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance

Executive Summary and Committee Purpose: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on Work Life Balance was approved by the University ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senate in November 2015 (See Appendix A). Over the course of 20 months, the full committee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ convened 19 times under the following charge: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The committee will inventory current Work Life services offered by the university; ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ investigate those offered by peer institutions; evaluate the NYU community’s needs for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ these services; recommend ways to improve, streamline, or expand services to meet ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ those needs; and consider the viability of creating a new office to handle all Work Life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ issues.

The five councils of the University Senate were represented in the committee. However, for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ various reasons, the Student Senate Council was only actively represented during the 2015-16 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ academic year. ​ ​

This report will detail the committee’s work, the progress that has been made over the course of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the committee’s tenure, and recommendations for future action. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

History: Concern for work-life balance far precedes the work of this committee. Reportedly, in the 1960s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and 1970s, the student and faculty councils initiated a needs survey of the NYU community, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ based on the same issues we see today. Over the last 20 years, the narrative of work-life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ support at NYU can primarily be can be told through the history of one employee, Joyce ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Rittenburg.

Joyce Rittenburg started at NYU in 1996 in Human Resources as Manager of Work-Life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Resources. Her position was later shifted to the Office of Faculty Resources and later Faculty ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Housing. Over the course of her 18-year tenure at NYU, she provided many family care ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ services to the NYU community above and beyond her delegated responsibilities until she left ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU in January 2014. Many members of the NYU community felt a distinct gap in services ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ once this position was vacated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Joyce met with our committee in March 2016, and provided us with a comprehensive summary ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ document of the work she conducted during her time here. Under then Provost Sharon ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weinberg (another guest speaker), Joyce facilitated a Child Care Task Force in 2005. As part ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ of the work on this taskforce, Bright Horizons Family Care Solutions consulting firm was hired to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ conduct a needs assessment and also conducted leadership and stakeholder interviews from ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2005-2007. The Needs Assessment Final Report was 112 pages. ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The working goals of the task force included: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Address issues of availability, affordability and quality ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Understand and respond to the needs of parents with children from birth through high ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ school ● Identify and create opportunities to build community on the NYU campus ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Lay the foundation to establish infrastructure for the future ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Recommend the most effective way to use the annual $750K benefit pool for child care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The new initiatives the task force recommended were: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Create a child care scholarship fund ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Develop a family child care network ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Expand and upgrade University Plaza Nursery School ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Develop NYU Parent Network ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Develop holiday/vacation camp programs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Create nanny support groups ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Joyce presented a programmatic overview, annual report and composite report in 2012. In her ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ final “looking ahead” section, she recommended the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Organizing family events through Faculty Senators Council funding ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Rolling out the Dependent Care Travel Fund ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Enhancing the website ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Organizing faculty seminars (e.g., Living Solo, Brain Development, and Teen ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Decision-Making) ● Collaborating on the development and coordination of ongoing work life balance ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ discussion group for pre-tenure faculty members ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Establishing additional Nursing Mother Rooms ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Updating Preparing for Parenthood at NYU materials ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Continuing to refine communications plan and format ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Developing small advisory groups including special needs, parenting teens and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ eldercare ● Expanding the Babysitting Registry tool to include tutoring, pet sitting and eldercare ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

She also presented her findings and recommendations at the University Leadership Team’s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ consideration for a Child Care Center as part of the 2031 plan. She gave a similar presentation ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ as we are now, including sections on background/timeline, challenges, operating principles, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ current parenting support, discussing a national demand for child care, New York City supply ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and demand, NYU demand, NYU demographics and a review of our peer institutions (See ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Appendix K). ​ ​

The Family Care Office ceased operation on August 30, 2012 and the program areas and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ initiatives that were part of that portfolio were reassigned. The bulk of the work -- Adoption ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assistance Program, the child care scholarship and subsidy programs, Backup Child and Adult ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Care Program, lunchtime parenting and eldercare programs, the Nursing Mother Rooms, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ consultation on child care leaves -- reverted to the University Human Resources (UHR) where ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ they originated and became the responsibility of the Benefits - LiveSmart program. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ summer camp for elementary school-aged children offered through the Family Care Office was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ indefinitely suspended the previous year, and the remaining programs (website maintenance, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the Parenting e-Newsletter, NYU Babysitting Registry, oversight and implementation of the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU/University Settlement Family Child Care Program, campus-based support on child care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and school options including services provided by Smart City Kids) were reassigned to the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Office of Faculty Housing. As is often the case with reorganizations, the services were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ re-evaluated and the University made the decision that the private school admissions support ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ provided by Smart City Kids would only be available to current and prospective faculty ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members.

Time and again, Joyce Rittenberg was mentioned by members of the NYU community as being ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ a champion for family care at NYU. She was one person and spread very thin. Much of the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ work and surveying our committee conducted was performed by Joyce through the years, as ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ mentioned above. The committee is grateful to Joyce, not only for her dedicated service to the ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU community, but also for her generous contributions of time and information to the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ committee’s work. All of Joyce’s documents are available upon request from our committee. ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

We have been happy to build on the work she has done and we see many parallels between ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ her work and ours. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

With a lack of centralized services, volunteer initiatives have sprung up independently. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ AMC has created its own email listserv to share information, concerns, and policy updates, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ also a Facebook page for exchanging unneeded children’s items. A school administrator from ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ CAS also founded the Working Mothers Support Group, which meet regularly to offer support, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ share parenting strategies and host guest speakers regarding topics of financial planning, estate ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ planning, child behavior, organization skills, time management, and other parenting topics, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ an administrator from TSOA started the Parent Network for Tisch employees. These programs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ should not all be volunteer initiatives. Nor should they only be available to a limited audience. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU needs to do better at sponsoring, organizing, and promoting these programs. A centralized ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work Life Office situated on campus will help. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Senate Resolution and Formation of the Ad Hoc Committee (See Appendix B): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ After continued concern over the closure of the Family Care Office, the Administrative ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Management Council (AMC) consulted with the Tenured/Tenure-Track Faculty Senators Council ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (T-FSC), Full-Time Continuing Contract Faculty Senators Council (C-FSC), the Deans Council, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and Student Senators Council (SSC), and created a proposal to create an ad hoc committee to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ evaluate the situation. ​ ​ ​ ​

On November 12, 2015, the University Senate passed a resolution to create the Ad Hoc ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Committee on Work Life Balance. The resolution stated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

“WHEREAS, NYU has certain strong services and resources to support students, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ faculty, and staff in the balancing of their personal and professional/academic lives ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (“Work Life Services”), but which services may be difficult for members of the NYU ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ community to identify; and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

WHEREAS, the Administrative Management Council has proposed the creation of an ad ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ hoc Senate committee to investigate and consider ways to improve, streamline, or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ expand current Work Life Services offered by NYU to better serve the NYU community. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate Executive Committee establish, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ prior to the end of calendar year 2015, an ad hoc Senate committee to explore NYU’s ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work Life Services, including in the areas of childcare, benefits, adoption, and elder ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care, that includes representation from each Council comprising the University Senate.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The committee members were selected from among recommendations of the respective council ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ chairs in December 2015. The committee was first convened in February 2016. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Work of the Committee: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The full committee met 19 times over the course of 20 months. It hosted nine guest speakers, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ including those currently and formerly responsible for NYU’s various work-life services, to learn ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ about former, current, and prospective services and programs. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Peer Comparison and Inventory of Current Work Life Services (See Appendix K and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Appendix L): ​ ​ The committee conducted an inventory of NYU’s benefits policies and programs and services ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ related to work life, wellness, and family care. It then compared them to the services and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ policies at several peer institutions - specifically, Brown, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Johns ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Hopkins, MIT, Stanford, University of Chicago, and University of Pennsylvania. The committee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ found that, while NYU is the largest private university in the United States, it lags far behind ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ other peer institutions in Work Life support services. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Yale, where President Hamilton previously served as provost, has earned such distinctions as ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Best Companies for Working Mothers, the Alliance for Work Life Progress Seal of Distinction, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and one of the Best Places to Work in Connecticut. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Our own uptown colleagues at the NYU Langone Medical Center will soon have access to a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ new day care center. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Columbia University offers an excellent example of a full-service Work Life office, serving ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ students, faculty, and staff, along several priority areas. Its mission reads: “The Office of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work/Life promotes the University's commitment to a working and learning environment ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ supportive of its faculty, researchers, administrators, staff and students in their pursuit of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ productive and fulfilling professional and personal lives.” The office consists of three areas: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ housing information and referral; wellness; and school and child care search services. They ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ have seven full-time professional staff members to serve the community. The Office also offers ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Backup Care for children, adults and elders; Breastfeeding Support Program with approximately ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 15 lactation rooms located on all campuses, a Faculty Spouse/Partner Dual Career Service, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ liaison and coordination of the affiliated child care centers. In addition to the seven full time staff ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members in the office, there are two as needed employees staffing the dual career service. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The committee had a very productive discussion with Carol Hoffman, then Associate Provost of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work Life at Columbia University, who had created and was (at the time) running its Work Life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ office. Following her retirement from Columbia, and upon the recommendation of this ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ committee, Carol has been tapped as a consultant to the Provost Office on work life issues. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Through our inventory of current Work Life services, the committee found disparities between ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ what was offered for faculty, staff, and graduate students (e.g., family newsletter for faculty ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ only), and what is being offered at our peer institutions (e.g., on-campus and affiliate child care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ centers). Overwhelmingly it was agreed that the University is in need of an on-campus office ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ where faculty, staff, and students can meet in-person with experts in the field of child care, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ school placements, elder care, disability services, retirement, relocation services, and other ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work Life issues. While NYU has some strong programs through LiveSmart (wellness ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ programming) and Carebridge (employee assistance program), there is a need for a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ comprehensive in-house Work Life office with staff knowledgeable about local resources. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey of Faculty and Staff (See Appendix D and Appendix E): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The most important goal of the committee was to conduct a survey to evaluate the NYU ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ community’s needs for these services. The Committee spent many months designing a survey ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to gather metrics on faculty and staff. Sabrina Ellis indicated that the survey’s results would ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ help enable the University to make further headway with important initiatives, such as a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ university standard on flex-time. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

This survey was offered to 3,729 NYU administrators and 1,007 professional research staff in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 2017. There was a response rate of 57%. Of the 2,708 total respondents, about 88% ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were administrative professionals and 12% were professional research staff. The most common ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ length of service was less than five years, with almost 50% of participants falling in that ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ category. The next most common length of service was five to nine years. The most common ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ salary range for participants was $50,001 to $75,000, followed by $75,001 to $100,000. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

This survey was offered to 2,987 NYU faculty in March 2017. The response rate was 36%. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ 1,077 faculty member respondents were equally distributed between tenure/tenure track and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ contract faculty. Their length of service was fairly evenly spread, with the most prevalent length ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of service being less than 5 years. Among faculty, 11.06% said they have a spouse or domestic ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ partner who also works at NYU. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Demographic data provided by University Human Resources from March 2016 (See Appendix ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ C) helped us prepare and target our surveys. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The key takeaways from the survey that support our recommendations and priorities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

1. The high response rate indicates this topic is of great interest to the NYU community and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ supports our recommendation that the office be available to everyone, including ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators, staff and students. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. The most common commute time for administrators was 60-90 minutes and the most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ common commute time for faculty was 30-60 minutes. This supports our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ recommendation for shuttle service to and from midtown transportation hubs to campus. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ 3. Almost half of administrator respondents said they would like to explore telecommuting. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This, in addition to long commute times, supports our recommendation that NYU offer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ guidelines on flexible work policies. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4. For our administrators, the most common monthly cost for childcare for children under ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ five was $1,000-$2,000 per month followed by $2,000 to $3,000 per month. For our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ faculty the results were the same. The high cost of child care in the tri-state area ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ supports our recommendation for both increased child care subsidies and scholarships ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ as well as more affordable, high quality, accessible child care, such as additional ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on-campus child care centers. Faculty were especially passionate about improving ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU’s child care services. The clear consensus among survey respondents was that ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ childcare is expensive and faculty families do not feel adequately supported. Some ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ argued that in order to diversify and hire more women, NYU must make it easier for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ women with children to work. Some said they are considering leaving NYU because of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ its lack of support. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5. About one quarter of both administrators and faculty have or have had the responsibility ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for caring for an adult relative, spouse or domestic partner. More than half of these ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ respondents reported that their work responsibilities have been disrupted due to this ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care. This data supports our recommendation for exploring an intergenerational ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ education model and supporting flexible work arrangements, along with the continued ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ need to improve our local and long-distance support for elderly or disabled relatives; ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ back-up care; in-home adult respite care; and support groups related to caring for a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ disabled or elderly relative. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6. Understanding the New York City and tri-state support systems and resources ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ necessitates a local Employee Assistance Provider (EAP), which is another one of our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ recommendations.

Due to lack of time and resources, the committee was unable to survey the student community. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Like other Senate committees, this committee did not have designated administrative support. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We also did not have consistent student representation on the committee after the first ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ semester, and felt that the individual schools should be encouraged to survey their own ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ students and assess the needs of the student body. We informally polled counterparts at ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ graduate admissions offices, and it was agreed that NYU needs to provide more services for our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ students with families. Some of this work is already being provided by the NYU Division of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Student Affairs as well as the Student Affairs offices within the schools, but we need centralized ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ programming and policies. ​ ​ ​ ​

If NYU is going to increase admissions for a diverse population of students, we need to offer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ family services to meet the needs of our students. Increasingly, students with families are ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ struggling to pay for housing and child care, making NYU a much less viable and affordable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ option.

If NYU is going to recruit and retain the most talented and diverse faculty, we need to offer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ in-person relocation services and counseling to help navigate the complexities of NYC housing, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ child care, schools, and eldercare. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

If NYU is going to recruit and retain the most talented and diverse administration, we need to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ assist with child care and offer flex-time in order to balance work life challenges. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Finally, there is a renewed emphasis at NYU to improve and expand upon services for our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ military veterans. Many of our veteran-students have families, and we should offer services to ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ meet their needs. ​ ​ ​ ​

Please refer to Appendices F, G, H, I and J for survey summaries from both the Office of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Institutional Research and Data Integrity and Human Resources for a complete analysis of the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ report.

Impact: Over the course of the Committee’s tenure, several developments have been made related to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ work life. Most significantly, Katherine Fleming, the Provost, has announced the creation of a ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work Life Office and the beginning of a search for its director in Fall 2017. In addition, policy ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and operational changes have been implemented to other areas in the committee’s purview. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ These changes are highlighted below. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Creation of a New Work Life Office: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In April 2017, the committee submitted a preliminary report to the Senate with findings from the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ survey in which the committee recommended the creation of an on-campus Work Life office ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ open to all faculty, administrators, researchers, and students. We are pleased to report that the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Provost has announced the approval of this office in her end of year letter to the faculty. With ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ this step forward, the committee continues to recommend that the Office be structured with a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ dual report to both the Provost and University Human Resources. We also want to ensure the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Office be accessible to students and administrators as well. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

In July 2017, the job description for the Executive Director of the Work Life Office was posted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and a national search is now underway to fill the position. The new Executive Director, once on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ board, will hire a staff of work life professionals. This person will help frame the office and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ develop policies, and will build on progress already being made. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The committee met with Provost Fleming on September 5, 2017. In this meeting she outlined ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ what she saw as some of the priorities of this new office. She does not want to alienate ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ employees without families and stated that Work Life does not equal Family Care. Families with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ disabilities will fall under this office and the Chief Diversity Officer, Lisa Coleman, is creating a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ new position to handle disability services. The emphasis will be on educational wellness ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ throughout the career lifecycle of an employee, including general financial advisement and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ literacy, retirement planning, faculty housing, counseling of NYU community members about the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 529 college savings plan, and programming to build community. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

We recommend that the new office develop strong partnerships with the NYU Child Study ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Center, Kids of NYU Langone, Steinhardt Early Childhood Education, Silver School of Social ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Work, University Human Resources, Student Affairs, the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Office of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the Provost, the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities, and with the various school Deans. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Benefits Policy Changes: ​ ​ ​ ​ The Committee applauds the improvements made to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators and researchers, Bonding Leave for administrators and researchers, and Sick ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Time policies for faculty, administrators and researchers, made by University Labor and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Employee Relations and Human Resources as of September 1, 2016, with additional updates to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Bonding Leave adopted in June 2017. We appreciate that the suggestions and concerns voiced ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by the benefits committees of the AMC and the faculty councils were heard and that positive ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ changes were implemented. ​ ​ ​ ​

The most notable changes to the Bonding Leave policy are: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ - There is no longer a "primary caregiver" distinction. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ - Employees are now eligible after 12 months of continuous employment (formerly, it was two ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ years). - Application is now due 30 days before the event. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

In addition to the Bonding Leave Policy revisions, NYU's FMLA policy was also updated. One of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the most notable changes to FMLA is that employees are now permitted to take vacation time ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ following sick leave, so employees continue to be paid. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Finally, the Sick Leave Policy was updated. It now allows employees to use sick time for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ preventative healthcare care that includes screenings, checkups, and patient counseling to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ prevent illness, disease or other health problems. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Nursing Mothers Room Improvements: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Based on our survey results, over 30% of both faculty and administrator respondents indicated ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ their dissatisfaction with lactation rooms. Many said there were too few spaces which were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ inconveniently located. University Human Resources has made several helpful improvements ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to the Nursing Mother Room (NMR) reservation process. The Child/Elder Care website has ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ been updated with more succinct Nursing Mother Room information, including a Google Doc ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with a comprehensive listing of NMRs in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Users can use Google ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Calendar to easily “book” the most frequently utilized NMR spaces which require reservations. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Additional NMR space is being identified across both campuses. Newly listed locations are at ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 383 Lafayette Street; College of Dentistry, 345 East 24th Street; 1 Pierrepont Plaza/300 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cadman Plaza; and a second space at 2 MetroTech Center (8th Floor). However, the number ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and location of these essential spaces under-serves the community, and more facilities are ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ needed on each campus node. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Retirement Planning Changes: ​ ​ ​ ​ Based on our survey results, almost 70% of administrator respondents and 75% of faculty ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ respondents said they were unaware of the eligibility criteria for NYU retiree benefits. UHR took ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ action and the Planning for Retirement webpages have been launched. UHR is promoting the ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ new pages as they present benefits information during the fall. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Committee Recommendations: ​ ​ 1. While we understand the primary focus on the new office will be on faculty recruitment ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and retention, we strongly recommend services be provided for all NYU students, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators, and staff, that is, the entire NYU community. The AMC has been a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ champion of this effort and we want to ensure all university constituents be represented. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

2. Redesign the website with a focus toward Work Life. The College and University Work ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Family Association (CUWFA), the professional association for work life balance ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators in higher education, is an excellent resource for both professionals and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ institutions. Its Family Friendly Campus Toolkit offers tools to assist universities who ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ want to improve their Work Life programming and it’s Toolkit for Work Life Websites ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ offers practical tips for improving our institution’s Work Life website. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

3. We support the recommendation of an advisory committee which could include ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ membership from our ad hoc committee. There may be additional roles/individuals that ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ could be very helpful to the development of the work life office and new initiatives. In ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ order to not make the committee too large, perhaps only some key members of the ad ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ hoc committee should be included. The advisory committee will set priorities for Work ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Life efforts within the University; collaborate with the Provost, UHR, and the new ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Executive Director of Work Life during the establishment of the office; and will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ systematically evaluate Work Life initiatives and report to the University community and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senate. It is recommended that the committee administer a survey every three to five ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ years.

4. We would suggest making available more affordable, high quality, accessible child care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by starting an on-campus daycare center. Creative Steps Early Care and Education ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Center (ages 12 months through four years) and University Plaza Nursery School (ages ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ two to five years) are two child care centers on-campus that provide priority spaces to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU faculty and staff. There is possible space at the new 370 Jay Street building in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Brooklyn and at Washington Square in the new 181 Mercer Street building, or space ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ vacated by relocation of departments to 181 Mercer. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

5. Enhance current shuttle bus system to assist commuters. NYU should offer shuttle ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ buses during peak times between Washington Square and midtown transportation hubs, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ which would assist employees with commuting costs and unpredictable MTA schedules. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ It should be noted that NYU Langone Medical Center has this service. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

6. Consider implementation of an intergenerational education center. There is tremendous ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ opportunity to collaborate with our programs in Early Childhood Education (Steinhardt), ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Gerontology (Rory Meyers College of Nursing), Social Work (Silver School), Education ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Leadership and Social Policy (Steinhardt), and NYU Child Study Center, among others. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We could merge the young and old populations into a Senior Center/Preschool, which ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ would help alleviate child care, preschool and elder care issues. We brought this ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ opportunity to the attention of Karen Gulino, who seemed enthusiastic about the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ potential. For more information, watch the Present Perfect Documentary trailer: ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K3H2VqQKcc. More information about ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ intergenerational collaboration can be found at Generations United, whose mission is to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ improve the lives of children, youth, and older adults through intergenerational ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ collaboration, public policies, and programs for the enduring benefit of all. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Priorities to Enhance Policies and Programs: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1. Increase child care scholarship fund for administrators; extend eligibility for children ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ beyond kindergarten age for administrators, to include financial support for afterschool ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and summer programs; and increase the child care subsidy for graduate students, which ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ is currently only $200 per semester. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

2. Establish University-wide flex-time policy for employees. Currently, only some schools ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ have formal policies and most are not approved by UHR. Administrators overwhelmingly ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ requested more workplace flexibility to more adequately balance care for their children. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Because of the high cost of childcare, many requested the option to work remotely one ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ or more days per week, especially during the summer when there are less students’ on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ campus.

3. Enhance current network of NYU-affiliated child care facilities (NYU Langone is now fully ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ merged with NYU Lutheran Medical Center and NYU Lutheran offers early childhood ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ centers; NYU Medical School will soon have a day care center at 1 Park Avenue). The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ Provost is already looking to renew the family care contract through University ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Settlement. In 2007, NYU and University Settlement joined efforts to expand childcare ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ options in the area by developing high quality family child care programs. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

4. Improve backup child care process and babysitting registry. Based on our feedback, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ UHR is researching opportunities with Bright Horizons and care.com. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

5. Research new employee assistance plan providers, preferably based locally in New York ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ City. UHR is currently interviewing candidates for providers. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

6. Partner with other university offices to create streamlined services, clarify existing ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ policies, and expand existing programs and services. We have already asked the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Community Liaison in Faculty Housing to be sure to include all of the NYU community on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ important family announcements and events. We should identify methods for liaising ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with each school and the Work Life Office. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

7. Improve our local and long-distance support for elderly or disabled relatives; back-up ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care; in-home adult respite care; and support groups related to caring for a disabled or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ elderly relative. ​ ​

8. Establish a partnership with the Tuition Remission Committee, chaired by Sabrina Ellis. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Many of the topics being surveyed and researched by this committee also fall under ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ work life. ​ ​

Areas for additional consideration include access to affordable housing for Continuing Contract ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ faculty, and wage stagnation of long-term employees and faculty. These two factors contribute ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ significantly to recruitment and retention of NYU personnel. Recruitment and retention have ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ been identified by the NYU Administration as pivotal Work Life attributes to address and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ develop. Wage stagnation and affordable housing remain pressing problems at NYU. The ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Provost reported to the committee that faculty in NYU housing will be counseled on transition ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ opportunities to help with planning for retirement and potential home ownership; one goal is to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ increase the available stock of housing, as faculty relocate. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Appendix A

Proposal for the Formation of an Ad Hoc Senate Committee To Review Work‐Life Balance Issues Submitted by the Administrative Management Council

1. Name of Committee: Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Work‐Life Issues 2. Purpose a. The committee will inventory current work‐life services offered by the university; investigate those offered by peer institutions; evaluate the NYU community’s needs for these services; recommend ways to improve, streamline, or expand services to meet those needs; and consider the viability of creating a new office to handle all work‐life issues. 3. Rationale a. NYU has some strong programs and services to support employees, faculty, and students in balancing their personal and professional/academic lives, primarily through Human Resources’ LiveSmart program and the Carebridge employee assistance program. b. A Family Care Office also provided programming and resources for faculty and employees with children until the office was closed in 2012; several of its services were reassigned to other offices. c. However, many in the NYU community have noted that these services are not as easily found or fully utilized and are not as comprehensive as those at peer universities. Within the AMC, this area has been an active topic of discussion for the last few years, particularly after the closure of the Family Care Office. d. As NYU continues to grow and flourish, it becomes increasingly more important to look at what we offer and ensure we are providing our students and employees with services to support them and their families. e. All of the Senate constituent councils have expressed interest in the formation of this committee, and wish to strive toward the creation of a comprehensive work‐life office. This is a major undertaking requiring a committee to create a structure and timeline to identify and accomplish these goals. f. The committee will address a growing gap in services needed to recruit and retain the best students, faculty, administrators, and staff. When people are less stressed about the welfare of their families (children, parents, partners, spouses), they are more engaged at work and in school. In particular, Graduate Admissions could greatly benefit from increased services, child care support, and day care in order to attract the best and brightest students, including those with families. g. Other universities, particularly Columbia, Yale, Harvard, University of Michigan, Stanford, CUNY, and Hofstra, have several full‐time professional employees dedicated to work‐life, a greater range of services, robust programming, and, in some cases, on‐ campus daycare. Columbia’s Work/Life Office (http://worklife.columbia.edu/) stands out as a model with its extensive website and wide range of programming. NYU needs to be on par with its peers. 4. Time Frame a. At least two semesters to survey the current services offered at NYU, identify gaps, and propose solutions. b. The committee should form as soon as possible to begin to survey, interview, and investigate. Columbia offers a timeline on the formation of their office which could provide a guide (http://worklife.columbia.edu/about‐us#Timeline). 5. Committee Membership a. All five councils (Deans, Students, T‐FSC, C‐FSC, and AMC) will be represented, and will work with the designees from senior university leadership. b. At least three representatives from each council, nominated by their respective council, will serve on the committee. c. If a member can no longer serve on the committee, a replacement will be nominated by the council. 6. Inputs a. Current NYU programs and services to be reviewed i. Childcare (Creative Steps, NYU Lutheran Medical Center , Carebridge, Back‐up Care, Babysitting Registry, Child Care and School Admissions Counseling, Child Care subsidy) ii. HR Benefits (Bonding leave, Dependent sick care days, FMLA, Workload Relief, Wage Works, tuition remission) iii. LiveSmart (Back‐up care, lunchtime series, nursing mothers room) iv. Adoption (Carebridge, Assistance Program LiveSmart) v. Elder Care (Carebridge, Assistance Program LiveSmart) vi. Kids of NYU Langone (organization of parents, physicians, and friends who support children’s services at NYU Langone Medical Center) vii. NYU Child Study Center (specialized services, research studies, activities/events) viii. Steinhardt Early Childhood (utilizing our students to serve as a resource) b. The committee will need space to conduct meetings. Some administrative support would also be helpful. c. Experts from around campus (i.e. HR, Faculty Housing, Creative Steps) will be asked to speak about the services they provide and how structuring these services under one comprehensive office might benefit the NYU community. d. Administrators from other institutions (representatives from Columbia’s Work‐Life Office, etc.) will be invited to discuss their programs, how they evolved, and their impact. 7. Communication/Deliverables a. The committee will report back to their respective councils and the Senate within a year of formation, and each semester after that until its work is complete. b. The committee will provide written reports and disseminate as necessary.

8. Background a. Email from HR dated 10/17/2013: “The Family Care Office ceased operation on August 30, 2012 and the program areas and initiatives that were part of that portfolio were reassigned. The bulk of the work ‐ Adoption Assistance Program, the child care scholarship and subsidy programs, Backup Child and Adult Care Program, lunchtime parenting and eldercare programs, the Nursing Mother Rooms, and consultation on child care leaves reverted to the University HR where they originated and became the responsibility of the Benefits ‐ LiveSmart program. The summer camp for elementary school‐aged children offer through the Family Care Office was indefinitely suspended the previous year and the remaining programs ‐ maintenance of the website, the Parenting e‐Newsletter, NYU Babysitting Registry, and oversight and implementation of the NYU/University Settlement Family Child Care Program as well as campus‐based support on child care and school options including service provided by Smart City Kids ‐ was reassigned to the Office of Faculty Housing. As is often the case with reorganizations, the services were re‐evaluated and the University made the decision that the private school admissions support provided by Smart City Kids would only be available to current and prospective faculty members.” b. Joyce Rittenburg, an administrator of Work Life Services and later in Faculty Housing, who provided many family care services to the NYU community above and beyond her delegated responsibilities, left NYU in January 2014. Many members of the NYU community felt a distinct gap in services once this position was vacated. 9. Resources a. Research and Advocacy Organizations i.

Welcome!

Q1 Thank you for logging in to the Work-Life Survey, administered by the University ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senate’s Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance. Survey responses from full-time faculty, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators, and researchers will play an important role in helping to inform and guide the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Committee’s recommendations on which work-life benefits, programs, services, and policies ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ serve you best. ​ ​ ​ ​ The Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance, consisting of faculty, deans, ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrative, and student representatives from the University Senate, was formed in January ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2016. Our charge is to review NYU's current work-life services, examine what peer institutions ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ offer, assess the needs of the NYU community, and make recommendations back to the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ University Senate and University administration. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. You can save and return to it at a later ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ time if necessary but please note the deadline for completion is Friday, March 31st. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey responses from full-time faculty, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrators, and researchers will play an important role in helping to inform and guide the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Committee’s recommendations on which work-life benefits, programs, services, and policies ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ serve you best. ​ ​ ​ ​ The Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance, consisting of faculty, deans, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ administrative, and student representatives from the University Senate, was formed in January ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2016.

Section I: Survey Introduction ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ On November 12, 2015, the University Senate at New York University passed a resolution to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ create the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance. The resolution stated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “WHEREAS, NYU has certain strong services and resources to support students, faculty, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and staff in the balancing of their personal and professional/academic lives (“Work-Life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Services”), but which services may be difficult for members of the NYU community to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ identify; and ​ ​ WHEREAS, the Administrative Management Council has proposed the creation of an ad ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ hoc Senate committee to investigate and consider ways to improve, streamline, or expand ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ current Work-Life Services offered by NYU to better serve the NYU community. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate Executive Committee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ establish, prior to the end of calendar year 2015, an ad hoc Senate committee to explore ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU’s Work-Life Services, including in the areas of childcare, benefits, adoption, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ elder care, that includes representation from each Council comprising the University ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senate.”1

The committee’s goal would be to examine NYU’s work-life services, many of which fall within ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ University Human Resources’ purview. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Purpose. ​ ​ In order to assess administrator needs and satisfaction with regard to NYU’s work-life and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ tuition remission services, the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance in partnership with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU Human Resources created the Work-Life Balance Survey. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Significance. ​ ​ Based on these survey findings, the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance will make ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ recommendations to the University Senate. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Scope. ​ ​ This survey was offered to 3,729 NYU administrators and 1007 professional research staff in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 2017. There was a response rate of 57%. Of the 2,708 total respondents, about 88% were ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The next most common length of service was five to nine years.3 The most common ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ salary range for participants was $50,001 to $75,000, followed by $75,001 to $100,000.4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Improvements.

Bonding Leave. ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with NYU’s Bonding Leave Policy, the most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ common answer was satisfied; however, dissatisfaction is evident among the 6% of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ participants (152 total) who have a spouse or domestic partner who also works at NYU. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This 6% expressed discontent in having to share their six weeks paid bonding leave with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ one another. ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 40.6% ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied-19.7% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 18.7% ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 15.9% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 5.2% ​ ​ ​ ​

Caregivers on Call. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the program, the most common answer was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ dissatisfied, followed by neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. Many felt this service failed to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ provide quality care on short short notice. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 31% ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 26.8% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 21.1% ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 12.7% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 8.4% ​ ​ ​ ​

NYU Babysitting through Wasserman. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Comments suggested the old babysitting registry was preferred, as it was geared more ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ toward childcare and less toward employment. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 40% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 30.9% ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 16.4% ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 9.1% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 3.6% ​ ​ ​ ​

Child Care Scholarship Program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this program, the most common answer was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ satisfied, followed by dissatisfied. Many wished the salary cap were higher so they could ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ participate in the program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 30.5% ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 22.1% ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 20.5% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 17.9% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 9.1% ​ ​ ​ ​

Lactation Rooms. ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with NYU’s lactation rooms, the most common ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ answer was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, followed by satisfied. Many requested more ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ lactation rooms in more convenient locations. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 35.1% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 23.9% ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 21.06% ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 9.9% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 9.5% ​ ​ ​ ​

Special Needs Children. ​ ​ ​ ​ 59 said they would be interested in support groups for adults who care for children with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ special needs. ​ ​

Tuition Remission. ​ ​ 12 requested a more generous portable tuition for their children, some of whom may not feel ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU is a good college fit. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Telecommuting. About 44%, of survey participants said they would like to explore telecommuting. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Administrators Work Life Balance Survey - March 2017 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8

Workload and Stress Relief. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 808 said they would like to see more events focusing on nutrition and exercise. Some ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ requested free gym memberships. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Section III: Survey Findings ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Childcare. Administrators overwhelmingly requested more workplace flexibility to more adequately ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ balance care for their children. Because of the high cost of childcare, many requested the option ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to work remotely one or more days per week, especially during the summer when there are less ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ students needs to be met.5 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “As a single parent who shares time with my child, the fact that my boss has allowed me ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to have a flexible schedule is invaluable to our family and fosters real loyalty to my boss ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and to NYU.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Another wrote, ​ ​ “The ability to work from home would greatly improve my work life balance.

Of those with children under the age of five, about 68% use an outside child care provider.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Child care centers are most commonly used, followed by a nursery or preschool. Those in the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “other” category said they use playgroups, family members, private schools, and babysitters.10 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Of those with children under the age of five, about 32% use an in-home child care provider.11 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The most common in-home provider used is a nanny, followed by a family member or relative, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and a nanny share.12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Child care is most needed on the weekdays.13 If there were an unexpected interruption in their ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ typical child care routine:14 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 630 said they would have to take off work. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 449 said someone in their family would have to take off work. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 115 said they would call a sitter. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 18 said they would use Caregivers On Call. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

General Suggestions: ​ ​ 56% (498) of those who chose to answer expressed interest in more backup childcare ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ options.15 54% (475) expressed interest in information on childcare within their ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ community. 52% (456) expressed interest in information on k-12 school school options ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ within their community. ​ ​ ​ ​ Participants were able to write their thoughts and suggestions regarding their childcare ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ needs. The most common comments were as follows:16 ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 48 requested NYU on-campus childcare. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 23 would like the ability to work remotely or with a more flexible work schedule. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Seven want more affordable summer camp options. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Seven want a more cost-encompassing child care scholarship. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Seven want help with after school care. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Six want better maternity and paternity leave. ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The policy seems to be unclear to some administrators, as some thought it provided six ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ weeks, while others thought it provided three months. This may point to confusions ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ between paid leave and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA.)18 Although only ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ about 6%, 152 total, said they have a spouse or domestic partner who also works at NYU, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ this 6% has expressed discontent in having to share their six weeks paid bonding leave ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with one another. One person said,19 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “A husband and wife who both work at NYU are required to *share* the six ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ weeks of bonding leave, whereas a parent who solely works at NYU was allowed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to avail her/himself of the full six weeks...I apologize for the use of such a strong ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ term, but we both found this to be a discriminatory practice which places ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ hardship- rather than reward- on families which have chosen to jointly invest their ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ lives in NYU.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Another person said, ​ ​ ​ ​ “The 12 month requirement to be eligible is unrealistic for the reality of life and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ planning a family should not revolve around when you began a job.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another said, ​ ​

“I feel one week is not nearly enough time for dads taking a bonding leave. In my ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ case, my wife had a bad delivery and was bedridden for a couple of weeks so I ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ was forced to take extra time off. Even still, one week for a newborn is nothing. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ By the time you are discharged from the hospital it only leaves you with a few ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ days at home.” ​ ​ ​ ​ The most common comments regarding bonding leave were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 51 said six weeks was an insufficient amount of paid leave. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 18 said it was unfair to make two NYU employees split bonding time. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 17 said 10 days was not enough time for fathers or non-primary caregivers to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ bond with their new child. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Nine said the process or policy was confusing. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Six said it was unfair they have to spend a certain amount of time at NYU in order ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to get paid leave. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Caregivers On Call. ​ ​ ​ ​ Almost 80% (1878) of survey participants said they were unaware NYU offered ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Caregivers On Call.20 When asked about their satisfaction with the program, the most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ common answer was dissatisfied, followed by neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.21 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The most common themes in the comments include that administrators felt ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ uncomfortable leaving their children with strangers, caregivers were often late, caregivers ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were unavailable for last-minute care, caregivers were of bad quality, and caregivers were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ only trained for elder care.22 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I didn’t know until an hour before the next morning if anyone was coming or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ not. I couldn’t plan my day and ended up having to cancel all my meetings ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ anyway because I wasn’t sure if I would make it into the office. The woman was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ late and then I was not entirely comfortable leaving my daughter with a complete ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ stranger.”

Another wrote, ​ ​ “I think the woman who runs it is terrific! But it is geared for elder care, not child ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care. After having an elder nurse show up a few times who had no idea how to ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ play/relate to kids, my child begged me not to call them again. I couldn’t blame ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ her.”

NYU Babysitting through Wasserman. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Almost 86% (2016) of survey participants said they were unaware NYU provided a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ babysitting service through Wasserman.23 When asked about their satisfaction with this ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ service, the most common response was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, followed by ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Only 11 chose to write an explanation for their rating.25 Of these 11: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two prefer the old babysitting registry. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two said the interface was difficult to use. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two said it was difficult to find a last-minute sitter. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two said the workers who applied were unqualified to watch their children. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two said nobody applied to their job posting. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ One person wrote: ​ ​ ​ ​ “The old babysitting listserve was simple and yielded great results. The new ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ process through CareerNet (at least when I used it last year) is not easy and did ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ not yield qualified candidates. It felt like a complete waste of time.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Child Care Scholarship Program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this program, the most common answer was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ satisfied, followed by dissatisfied.26 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

44 said the income threshold was too low, causing them not to qualify for the scholarship. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 27 Some suggested raising the threshold so those with higher salaries could participate in ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the program. 12 said the scholarship does not cover enough child care expenses. Eight ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ were dissatisfied the scholarship only covered children under the age of five. One person ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ wrote,

“Given the rising cost of daycare, the qualifying levels of income are relatively ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ low. ⅔ of my income goes towards childcare; however, I don’t qualify for this ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ scholarship program.” ​ ​ Another wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ “We received $1,200 this year, which is great of course. However, it’s not really ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ much help if your monthly childcare cost is close to $2,000.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Lactation Rooms. ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with NYU’s lactation rooms, the most common ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ answer was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, followed by satisfied.28 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

28 said the lactation rooms were located too far away from their workplace. Many did ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ not have enough time to walk to and from the lactation rooms multiple times a day and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ resorted to lactating in the restroom. 15 said there are too few rooms available on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ campus. 13 said they were unhappy lactation rooms were located in restrooms.29 They ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ commented that a 30 minute lactation break is not enough time when it takes up to 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ minutes to travel to the lactation room. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “A woman needs to pump/breastfeed 4-8 times during the work day. If the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ lactation room isn’t right next to her desk, how much time is wasted? What gets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ compromised? Work and the income? Nourishment for her infant.

There was an issue with this portion of the survey’s comments section. Participants were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ prompted to explain their satisfaction level rating, but were not given a space to type their ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ comments or concerns.39 Because of this, all comments were taken from other comment sections ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ within the survey. The most common comments were as follows:40 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 38 requested 100% tuition remission instead of 90%. One said that tuition remission was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ lowered to 90% during the recession. Because the recession has ended, they requested it ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ return to 100%. ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 12 requested a more generous portable tuition benefit for their children, some of whom ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ may not feel NYU is a good college fit. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Nine requested the portable tuition benefit be offered to administrators hoping to pursue ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ degrees at other schools, or to those who were not accepted to NYU. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Nine would like more information on how tuition remission works. Some said it was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ difficult to find information on the website. Others said they do not know how to utilize ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ this benefit. ​ ​ ● Six requested 100% tuition remission be offered to their spouses and adult children. One ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ requested it be offered to grandchildren. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Three requested tuition remission be available to those working at away sites. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Two requested the cost breakdown. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Telecommuting.

About 44% (1093) of respondents said they would like to explore telecommuting.41 When asked ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ about how often they have face to face interactions with people during the work day, the most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ common answer was almost always, followed by usually and sometimes.42 More than 71% of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ respondents said more than half of their work is performed independently.43 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Participants were asked how much they agree with the following statement: I have goals and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ objectives that are regularly assigned. More than 40% strongly agree that their goals and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ objectives are regularly assigned. Almost 38% somewhat agree.44 When asked if they ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ understood how to achieve their assigned goals and objectives, more than 65% strongly agreed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and more than 27% somewhat agreed.45 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ More than 81% said they have received a performance evaluation in the last 12 months.46 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

More than 26% said they have to share an office or a cubicle.49 One of the arguments for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ telecommuting is that it will improve NYU’s space constraints. More than 46% agreed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ telecommuting would improve space constraints.50One person wrote,51 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “Telecommuting would be beneficial to the staff and myself. Especially during non-peak ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ periods… It would also assist with motivation in the department, being an employee who ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ works Monday-Friday 9-5 and sometimes weekends it can be exhausting.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Some argued that a more flexible work schedule and an official telecommuting policy would ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ allow parents to spend more time with their families. One wrote,52 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “It would be great if NYU had an official telecommuting policy for new parents- giving ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ employees in excellent standing the option to telecommute one to two days each week ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can help alleviate the costs of childcare...especially for those of us who work more than ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ just 9-5pm and then have to commute home.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Some opposed allowing parents to use telecommuting time to watch their children.

“Formalize a way to assess if work from home is being utilized effectively. How does ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ one precisely identify its abuse?... Make it clear that work from home is not a substitution ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for childcare. It is not clear that all employees understand this.” ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Some were against telecommuting, in that they believe it puts an extra burden on those present in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the office. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “Telecommuting (is) an individual benefit that detracts from the work experiences of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ others. The telecommuters in our office make it more difficult for the rest of us to ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ work...it should be recognized that it is an added burden to others and creates a less ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ communal work environment.” ​ ​ ​ ​

Commuting.

About 97% of survey participants said they commute to work.54 When asked about how long it ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ takes for them commute one way, almost 47% said they require 30 to 59 minutes. The next most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ common commuting time was one hour to 90 minutes, with 26% of participants falling in this ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ category. The most common methods of transportation include subway and walking, followed ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ by commuter rail and bus.55 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Section I: Survey Introduction ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ On November 12, 2015, the University Senate at New York University passed a resolution to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ create the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance. The resolution stated: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “WHEREAS, NYU has certain strong services and resources to support students, faculty, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and staff in the balancing of their personal and professional/academic lives (“Work-Life ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Services”), but which services may be difficult for members of the NYU community to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ identify; and ​ ​ WHEREAS, the Administrative Management Council has proposed the creation of an ad ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ hoc Senate committee to investigate and consider ways to improve, streamline, or expand ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ current Work-Life Services offered by NYU to better serve the NYU community. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate Executive Committee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ establish, prior to the end of calendar year 2015, an ad hoc Senate committee to explore ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU’s Work-Life Services, including in the areas of childcare, benefits, adoption, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ elder care, that includes representation from each Council comprising the University ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senate.”1

The committee’s goal would be to examine NYU’s work-life services, many of which fall within ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ University Human Resources’ purview. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Purpose. ​ ​ In order to assess faculty needs and satisfaction with regard to NYU’s work-life and tuition ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ remission services, the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance in partnership with NYU ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Human Resources created the Work-Life Balance Survey. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Significance. ​ ​ Based on these survey findings, the Ad Hoc Committee on Work-Life Balance will make ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ recommendations to the University Senate. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Survey Scope. ​ ​ This survey was offered to 2,987 NYU faculty in March 2017. The response rate was 36%. Of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ the 1,077 faculty member respondents, about half were tenure/tenure track and half were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Improvements.

Caregivers on Call. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the program, the most common answer was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, followed by dissatisfied and very dissatisfied. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Comments suggested the caregivers were unqualified or unreliable. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 34.7% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 33.3% ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 20.8% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 6.9% ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied 4.2% ​ ​ ​ ​

NYU Babysitting through Wasserman. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Only about 30% said they were satisfied with NYU Babysitting through Wasserman. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Comments suggested the old babysitting registry was preferred. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 31% ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor DIssatisfied- 23.9% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Dissatisfied- 23.9% ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 12.7% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Dissatisfied- 8.5% ​ ​ ​ ​

Child Care Scholarship Program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this program, the most common answer was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ dissatisfied. Many requested those with higher salaries be permitted to participate in the ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ program. ○ Dissatisfied- 25.8% ​ ​ ○ Satisfied- 23.7% ​ ​ ○ Very dissatisfied- 20.4% ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Neither Satisfied Nor Dissatisfied- 18.3% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ○ Very Satisfied- 11.8% ​ ​ ​ ​

Faculty Work-Life Balance Survey - March 2017 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 7

○ Very Satisfied- 12.8% ​ ​ ​ ​

Special Needs Children. ​ ​ ​ ​ 22 said they would be interested in support groups for adults caring for children with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ special needs. ​ ​

Portable Tuition. ​ ​ 66 said they would like a higher portable tuition benefit. They said that they, or their ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ children, would like the opportunity to attend a different school, as NYU is not a good fit ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ for every person. ​ ​ ​ ​

Workload and Stress Relief. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 22 said they would like more resources to cope with stress. Some requested more ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ affordable access to athletic facilities. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Workload Relief Policy. ​ ​ ​ ​ The most common source of dissatisfaction with this policy was that both partners were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ‘penalized’ for working at NYU. One wrote, “We were forced to take only half relief ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ each...if we worked for different employers we would both have take (sic) full relief. We ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ were penalized for working at NYU.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

WageWorks. Overall, comments suggest the WageWorks websites lack user friendliness. Faculty want ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ the sites to be more intuitive and easier to navigate. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Section III: Survey Findings ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Childcare.

Faculty were especially passionate about improving NYU’s child care services. The clear ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ consensus among commenters: childcare is expensive and faculty families do not feel adequately ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ supported.5 Some argued that in order to diversify and hire more women, NYU must make it ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ easier for women with children to work. Some said they are thinking of leaving NYU because of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ its lack of support. One said they tell young faculty not to come to NYU. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “Had child care been more more affordable/available we would have stayed in NYU ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ housing/in NYC. I would have been able to put more time into working (instead of ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ commuting,) attend more events and spend more days in the office.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

145 participants said they have a child, or children, under the age of five.6 The most common ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ monthly child care cost reported for children under five was $1,000 to $2,000; however, 36 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (almost 30% of this respondent group) said they spend more than $3,000 per month.7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Alternatively, the most common monthly child care cost for children over five was under $1,000. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8 Faculty spend less on childcare for children over the age of five. ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Of those with children under the age of five, about 83% said they use an outside child care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ provider.9 In this group, more than half, 52.27%, use a nursery or a pre-school. Almost 30% use ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ a childcare center.10 ​ ​ ​ ​ Of those with children under the age of five, 66 said they use an in-home child care provider.11 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In this group, about 74% use a nanny, 3% share a nanny, 12% use a family member, and 11% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ said, “other.” Of those who said, “other,” common comments included that they could not afford ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ any child care at all. Some said they hire baby sitters.12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ People most commonly need childcare on the weekdays.13 If their routine childcare were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ unavailable, 513 said either they or a partner, spouse, or family member would have to take off ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ work.14

General Suggestions.15 ​ ​ Participants were able to share their thoughts about their childcare needs. The most ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ common comments were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 23 want on-campus childcare. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 13 want NYU to reinstate the babysitting registry. They are unhappy with ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Caregivers On Call and Wasserman (see more below.) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● 12 want subsidized child care or subsidized after school programs. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Eight want more affordable camp options for school breaks. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Seven want the NYU calendar aligned with the Department of Education ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ calendar. ● Five want NYU k-12 schooling. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Caregivers on Call. ​ ​ ​ ​ About 75% (704) of respondents said they were unaware NYU offered this Caregivers on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Call.16 When asked about their satisfaction with the program, the most common answer ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, followed by dissatisfied and very dissatisfied.17 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

15 said the caregivers offered were unqualified. Some feel the caregivers are unsuited to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care for children and only have experience with elders. 12 said the caregivers were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ unreliable. Many of the caregivers either showed up late or failed to show up at all. Four ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ said they could not get a caregiver on short notice.18 They expressed this service, meant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to provide emergency childcare, is sometimes unable to serve its function. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I tried to use this three times and it never worked out. Twice, they were unable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to find someone for the times that I needed (once was same day, the other was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ more than a week in advance.) The other time, they booked someone who ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ showed up two hours late and was very rude, so we had to ask her to leave. I ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ don’t feel like I can trust this service.”19 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

NYU Babysitting Through Wasserman. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ About 83% (735) of respondents said they were unaware NYU offered babysitting ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ through Wasserman.20 Over 30% said they were satisfied, followed by a 24% tie between ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ neither satisfied nor dissatisfied and dissatisfied.21 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Faculty expressed it is difficult to find last-minute sitters using this service, as students ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ have to purposely apply for the position. The comments overwhelmingly suggested the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ old babysitting registry was preferred. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I have been able to get lovely NYU student babysitters through Wasserman, but ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ it was so much better a few years ago when the babysitting registry still existed.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another wrote, ​ ​ “I MUCH preferred the old ‘Babysitting registry.’ The website now is not really ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ intended for finding a babysitter-- the questions it has you fill out are geared ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ toward a corporate body…” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Child Care Scholarship Program. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this program, faculty most commonly answered ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ dissatisfied.22

The primary source of the dissatisfaction is that many do not qualify to receive the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ scholarship. 19 said they are paid too much to qualify. They suggested raising the salary ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ threshold so more faculty can access the resource. Of those who do qualify to receive the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ scholarship, nine said the award was too low. Some said it was so miniscule that it barely ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ helped with childcare costs.23 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “The amounts are paltry, even for someone using a very inexpensive daycare (I ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ pay $715/week for two children.) The $1,050 I receive pays for about 8 days of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ care.”

Lactation Rooms. ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with NYU’s lactation rooms, almost 28% said they ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were satisfied; however, more than 34.5% said they were either dissatisfied or very ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ dissatisfied.24

Six said there were too few lactation rooms.25 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “So few rooms close to campus, time is soooo limited! People need to fight over ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ time and room!” ​ ​ ​ ​ Six said lactation rooms were located inconveniently, such as in restrooms or far away ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ buildings. One wrote, ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “The lactation rooms are in a bathroom. While they are in a separate area from ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the toilet area, they are still subject to all the odors that are in a bathroom. And ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ when pumping lasts for 30 minutes, these odors can be quite unpleasant.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Schools.

186 said they want information regarding k-12 school options within their community.26 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ One wrote: ​ ​ “I’m new to NYU and have found planning for schooling to be a big challenge. I ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ have a 5 year old and an 8 year old. I was worried about schools and took up ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ housing outside of NYC to get my kids into good schools. The downside has ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ been a VERY long commute. I would like to move into the city but need to learn ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ more about schooling options for my boys. Would LOVE more info on what ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ other parents do.” ​ ​ ​ ​ 124 said they would like information on k-12 tutors within their community. As ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ mentioned above, five requested NYU provide k-12 schooling on campus.27 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Adult Care. ​ ​ 239 said they have or have had responsibility caring for an adult relative, spouse, or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ domestic partner.28 124 said they have senior care responsibilities for a family member. ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 29 141 said their work responsibilities have been disrupted due to the care of an adult ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ relative or spouse/domestic partner.30 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

10 said they want paid leave for family medical situations, particularly when assisting ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ aging relatives who do not live within close proximity to NYU. They said they would like ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to be compensated for travel costs and time lost. Six want help finding elder care ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ housing. Some said it would be helpful if their elder could live with them in NYU ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ housing.31

Adoption.

When asked about their circumstances, 99 said they were seriously considering adopting ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ or having a child.32 When asked about which adoption options they have explored, 37 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ said private programs and 29 said public programs. In the “other” category, individuals ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ said they have explored the foster care system, non-profit adoption programs, and legal ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ services.33

About 78% (700) of survey participants said they were unaware NYU offered adoption ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ assistance.

Only 12 people chose to rate their satisfaction with the Adoption Assistance Program. Of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ those 12, six were satisfied, four were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and two were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

very satisfied. Nobody provided comments.34 When asked about which services would ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ be of interest, 27 said they were interested in support groups for adults who adopted or ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ who wish to adopt.35 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Almost 83% incurred a cost totaling more than $10,000. The most common total cost ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ incurred while adopting was $15,001-$20,000, followed by above $20,000.36 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Special needs children. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their circumstances, 46 said they have a child or children with special ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ needs.37

When asked about which services would be of interest, 22 said they would be interested ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ in support groups for adults who care for children with special needs. 18 said they were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ interested in trained medical care for their child or children with disabilities.38 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6 said they want care and support for their children, some of whom are adult children, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with disabilities. ​ ​

Tuition Remission. ​ ​ ​ While many are appreciative of the tuition remission benefit, some think it could be improved. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this service, people most commonly answered satisfied, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ followed by dissatisfied. ​ ​ ​ ​

Many commented that they were not warned the tuition remission benefit would end for full time ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ faculty. They requested the benefit be brought back, as well as clearer communication about ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ changing policies. 28 either worry tuition remission will be taken away, or are upset it has been ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ taken away for faculty degree programs. One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I was shocked to learn this had been taken away from us without notification. Why ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ can’t employees still use this benefit themselves? We are severely underpaid. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ offering of study was one easy way to provide for employees.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ There is demonstrated confusion regarding portable tuition benefit. Some said they were offered ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $6,000, while others said they were offered $5,000 or $3,000. When given the opportunity to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ provide comments on this service, 66 said they would like a higher portable tuition benefit.39 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ They said either they, or their children, would like the opportunity to attend a different school, as ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NYU is not a good fit for every person.

“The portable tuition amount is ridiculously low. This distorts the choice of school for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ our children and gives them great pressure to attend NYU when that may not be a good ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fit for them. Our peer schools are much more generous than this…” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Workload and Stress Relief. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 200 said they would like more resources to help cope with stress.40 When asked about what ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ additional services they would like the committee to explore, some gave these suggestions:41 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● More affordable access to athletic facilities. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● More programs for wellness and stress reduction including yoga, massages, organization ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ classes, and nutrition classes. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Better communication about which services NYU provides. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● More accessible information. ​ ​ ​ ​

Wellness Programs (Live Smart). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with this program, almost half said they were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ satisfied. 33.52% said they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.42 ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Only 12 chose to explain their rating. One said it was difficult to commit to classes due ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to their work schedule. Another said the appointment slots are always filled.43 One ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ person wrote, ​ ​ “Some of the programs do not seem based on science or involve dubious things ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ like feng shui. I am doubtful that issues such as skin cancer or blood pressure can ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ be successfully addressed in the workplace.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another wrote, ​ ​ “The few times I’ve tried to sign up for something (within the deadlines), I was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ not able to because all slots had been filled.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Workload relief policy. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Workload Relief Policy, 73.39% they were ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ either satisfied or very satisfied. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The most common source of dissatisfaction with this policy was that both partners were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ “penalized” for working at NYU.44 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​

“We were forced to take only half relief each...if we worked for different ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ employers we would both have take (sic) full relief. We were penalized for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ working for NYU.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Another wrote, ​ ​ “I was satisfied with the parental leave available for the primary caregiver. But ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ the fact that there’s nothing available for the second parent is difficult; since my ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ partner also work as (sic) NY, he was unable to take ANY time when our babies ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were born.” ​ ​

Retirement.

185 said they were exploring retirement within the next five years. 45 More than 75% said they ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were unaware of the eligibility criteria for NYU retiree benefits.46 Of those who are eligible for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ retiree benefits, only about 20% are interested in one-on-one consultations.47 Only 34.71% said ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ they have met with a TIAA and/or a Vanguard financial counselor on campus to discuss their ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ retirement plan contributions, income needed in retirement, and/or retirement plan distribution ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ options.48 More than half said they do not know where to find retirement benefit information.49 ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Commuting.

Almost 75% of the survey participants said they commute to work.50 The most common ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ commuting time one way is from 30 to 59 minutes, followed by less than 30 minutes.51 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The most common methods of transportation include walking and subway, followed by ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ commuter rails and bus.52 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Housing.

258 said they would like to purchase a home within the next five years.53 When asked about ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ their satisfaction with the Buyer’s Edge Discount Program, more than half said they were neither ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ satisfied nor dissatisfied. About 27% said they were satisfied.54 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Only seven chose to explain their rating in the comments. Some said the program was not ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ useful, or that the website was difficult to use.55 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I find it impossible to locate on the website, and often give up trying to locate it.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another said, ​ ​ “The website is impossible to use.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

249 said they live on campus.56 One faculty member suggested placing communal work spaces ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ in Washington Square Village. Another suggested placing a party room in Washington Square ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Village available by reservation.57 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Other Programs ​ ​

Wage Works. ​ ​ Overall, faculty comments suggest the WageWorks websites lack user friendliness. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Faculty want the site to be more intuitive and easier to navigate. Because of the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ complicated interface, some faculty said they would not even attempt to utilize the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ services.

Commuter Savings Program. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Commuter Savings Program, more ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ than 75% were either satisfied or very satisfied.58 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

When given the opportunity to comment, six said they wanted a more user ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ friendly interface.59 One said, ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I know about this program but I find navigating some of these things ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ online to be cumbersome to the point of not pursuing them. This is one of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ those things.” ​ ​

Ten said they felt the program inadequately covers the cost of commuting. Some ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ requested subsidization beyond untaxed income. One said, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “This benefit is helpful, but tax-free commuting is not particularly ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ generous. Those with the most expensive commutes are often those who ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ must live farthest away from NYU in order to afford rent.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Dependent Care Flexible Spending ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Account, more than 75% said they were either satisfied or very satisfied.60 Seven ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ said they would like the ability to set aside more money. Two said it was difficult ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to predict how much money they would need for the year.61 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Health Care Flexible Spending Account. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Health Care Flexible Spending ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Account, more than 70% said they were either satisfied or very satisfied.62 12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ commented that the interface was not user friendly.63 One said, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “I suppose it’s OK financially speaking, but the truth is that I have never ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ really figured out how it works, so I just use the credit card to pay for ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ most/all health expenses and hope for the best.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another said, ​ ​ “Again, dealing with WageWorks was too much of a pain to make it ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ worthwhile.”

Six expressed unhappiness that their unused funds were forfeited. Some ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ suggested that the funds either be refunded or rolled over to the next period. One ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ said,

“It is not fair that if you don’t use all your FSA you lose it. It is hard to predict what you will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ need.”

Employee Assistance Program (Carebridge.) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Employee Assistance Program, almost half ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ said they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.64 Almost 30% said they were satisfied. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The most prevalent comment was that this service was unhelpful.65 13 said Carebridge ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ could not adequately attend to their needs. One said, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “The times I’ve contacted them, they had no idea how to help for my specific ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ questions.”

Another said, ​ ​ “I have tried twice to use the mental health service to find a therapist. Both times ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ no one called me back.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Health Advocate. ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with Health Advocate, almost half said they were ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. About 25% said they were satisfied.66 Only 12 chose to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

write explanations for their rating. Each of the 12 comments expressed dissatisfaction ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with this service.67 One said, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “Unable to advocate for me any better than I could myself.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Another said, ​ ​ “I had a bad experience with Health Advocate. They dropped the ball on my ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ case, and while I was waiting, the hospital sent my bill to a collection agency. I ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ended up solving the problem myself.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Group Legal Plan. ​ ​ ​ ​ When asked about their satisfaction with the Group Legal Plan, almost half said they ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. About 25% said they were satisfied.68 9 people ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ noted there were too few lawyers to choose from.69 One wrote, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ “There are so few lawyers available in the plan. In my research of the few, they ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ are all rated quite poorly.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Another said, ​ ​ “This is a particularly useless ‘benefit.’ There were very few attorneys and the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ one attorney I used allowed only a short 30-minute consultation, which was not ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ helpful...It was no better than Google.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
