SUMMARY:Leaves\, Absences\, Vacations\, and Exchanges
DESCRIPTION:24.13  Procedures for Applying for Sabbatical Leave \n(b)  If the Academic Unit envisions that granting leave to an individual shall severely limit the program of study of a number of students\, or the delivery of library or archives services\, the Academic Unit may ask that the applicant’s leave be deferred only if the Employee has less than eight (8) years of sabbatical leave credit. Such a recommendation for deferment should be made to the Sabbatical Leave Committee by 21 October of the year in which the application is made with copies to the applicant and the appropriate Dean. To minimize such deferrals\, the Academic Unit should undertake long-range planning for Sabbatical Leaves. \n(c) In all cases\, the Academic Unit shall forward\, using the form in Appendix 24.1\, the complete application together with its recommendation and an up-to-date sabbatical credit report for the entire Academic Unit to the Dean by 21 October. Where the Sabbatical Leave project is directed primarily toward enhancement of teaching\, the Academic Unit shall indicate how the project fits into its overall instructional program. For Employees\, the plan shall indicate how it will impact on the factors outlined in Article 17.01-17.05. Where the leave project is directed toward enhancement of a Librarian’s or an Archivist’s professional skills or ability to deliver service\, the Academic Unit shall indicate how the project fits into the overall plan for the Library or Archives. Where the leave project is directed towards enhancement of the Curator’s professional skills or\nability to deliver service\, the Dean of Arts shall indicate how the project fits into the overall plan for the Gallery.
