Leaves

Sabbatical Leave

The Sabbatical Leave Program provides one and two semester leaves to eligible faculty members to undertake projects of academic significance to themselves, their departments and units.  Sabbatical leaves may be granted to provide members of the professorial ranks of regular instructional faculty an opportunity to engage in an intensive program of research and/or study, thus enhancing their effectiveness to the University as a teacher and scholar. Tenure-track assistant professors shall be eligible for a one-semester sabbatical at 100% salary after six semesters.  All other sabbaticals, whether one semester or two semesters, shall be at 80% salary, except that a one-semester sabbatical at 100% salary shall be available after twelve semesters.  Individuals in the last year of the probationary period, or in a terminal year, are not eligible for a sabbatical leave.
