I am so relieved that Michelle has been found safe and has been reunited with James and her family.
I just wanted to update on the situation at UCSF. Due to the length of her absence and lack of contact with her supervisors, UCSF human resources is planning to file an "intent to dismiss" letter. Michelle will have the option of responding to the letter within a certain time period (usually 10 days) and can make a formal request for medical or disability leave, backdated to February 7th. We are hoping that Michelle will respond to the letter, so that she will at least have the option of taking formal leave and returning to her position at a later date if she wishes to do so.
If anyone would like more details on the UCSF policies, please let me know and I will find out.
Wishing everyone all the best,
Jennifer
