A group of 203 faculty members at top U.S. business schools signed a letter Tuesday urging Congress to expand protections that would offer paid family and sick leave to anyone with a job.

The faculty members cite research and sound business practices, as well as "our experiences teaching the business leaders of tomorrow," to explain their demand that "the United States must adopt a national paid family and medical leave policy."
