SINGAPORE – Local universities like the National University of Singapore (NUS) now extend by up to a year the tenure clocks of academics who have children.
The university also grants faculty members with children relief from teaching duties for up to a semester, said NUS’ vice-provost for academic affairs Tulika Mitra. She was responding to queries on what NUS is doing to help even playing the field so that more female academics can rise through the ranks.
