 One immediate takeaway from our data collection effort is that university parental leave policies, as written, can be difficult to understand. For example, several policies we found state that if both parents are tenure-track faculty, they must share the parental leave benefit (e.g. [Toyota Technical Institute](http://www.ttic.edu/dl/faculty_handbook.pdf)). Other policies describe a short amount of time off at full-pay with relief from all duties, followed by a longer time off with relief only from some duties (e.g. Princeton's [leave](https://dof.princeton.edu/working-princeton/benefits/paid-leave-childbearing-for-faculty) and [workload relief](https://dof.princeton.edu/working-princeton/benefits/workload-relief-new-parents-for-faculty) policies). For consistency across universities, we recorded both types of policies as the longer amount of relief only. Confusingly, many parental leave policies are written in terms of “primary caregiver” benefits (e.g. [Michigan Technological University](https://www.mtu.edu/hr/current/benefits/docs/parental-leave.pdf)) without defining whether both parents can have that role or only one, as well as fractional amounts of salaries to be received (e.g. [University of Utah](https://regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-315.php)). Other policies are simple in structure and simple to understand, e.g., both parents can take 1 semester of paid leave with full relief of duties (e.g., [University of Colorado Boulder](https://www.cu.edu/ope/aps/5019)).
