Harvard BDSers call for employees to take a "sick day" for Gaza today. Will @Harvard enforce its policy against abusing sick days?

"Faculty and Students for Justice in Palestine" at Harvard University are calling for all Harvard employees to call in sick today as a protest.

FSJP instructs the workers to attend rallies and demonstrations on campus instead.

Sick days are a privilege, and not time off to be abused. The Harvard Human Resources Policies and Guidelines says:

Normal use of earned sick time will not interfere with the overall productivity of the department and will not be used as a negative factor in any employment action. However, it is appropriate to take corrective steps if an employee abuses earned sick time (e.g., calls in sick when in fact the employee is absent for a reason that is not consistent with allowable purposes for use of sick time) or if an employee has a pattern of misuse (e.g., absences just before or after a weekend, vacation, personal day, recess, or holiday). These corrective steps may include informal or formal disciplinary warnings. In some cases, the eventual action may be termination.

Given that ther employees are supposed to use those scripts to say they are "sick from genocide," there is no doubt that they are abusing the sick days benefit.

Will Harvard take disciplinary action against the abusers? Or will they coddle them and insult the students paying exorbitant tuition fees?
