As I understood our leave, we have a very peculiar leave system. A new child creates two course releases. We teach 3-2, so that the way it works out is that you can take a semester of paid leave when you have a new child.
If, however, your spouse is also a faculty member, the system remains the same. The new child creates two course releases, but parents now want/need four. So, either each parent takes one course release (and teaches only one course) or one parent takes them both and the other takes zero.
