The University of Kansas recognizes and supports our country’s service members and their families in peace, crisis and war. The University enforces the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) which provide enhanced leave rights and job protections for employees and defined family members absent for military duty or military related activities.
