Anthony Kinslow, vice president for human resources at Case Western Reserve University, has proposed that Case Western employees get 15 days of paid leave to volunteer with groups in affected areas. The idea has already been approved by Case Western’s chief finance and administrative officer, and is awaiting the president’s consent. Employees would have to be approved for leave before taking off, but would have a year to set up their two weeks of service. Kinslow has reached out to professional organizations, like the Society for Human Resource Management, to encourage other colleges to do the same.
