The faculty member must submit the request for sabbatical leave to the department chairperson by September 1 of the academic year preceding the proposed sabbatical leave. The department chairperson will forward the request, along with a recommendation, to the dean of the faculty member's home college by September 15.
The faculty member must submit a detailed proposal which includes the following: the general purpose and nature of the sabbatical leave; the location(s) at which the leave will be taken; written statements from any collaborators, confirming the expected nature and duration of the collaboration; an outline of anticipated sabbatical-related expenses and financial compensation; an outline of the activities to be pursued, including a rationale for using a sabbatical leave to pursue these activities; and a statement of anticipated outcomes, including all evidence that the sabbatical leave will increase individual effectiveness or produce academically or socially useful results.
A faculty member may receive outside compensation from a grant, contract, or any income producing activity while on sabbatical, consistent with the following provisions:
| a) | The compensated activity must not, in the dean's judgment, be in conflict with the purpose of the sabbatical leave | |
| b) | The expected compensation must be disclosed in advance through the sabbatical application process | |
| c) | If the faculty member's salary plus outside compensation exceeds the faculty member's regular academic salary, the University reserves the right to offer a lower sabbatical salary or to recover the amount deemed excess by the academic dean. Due consideration will be given to sabbatical related expenses, such as travel. |
With the submission of a request to the dean, department chairpersons must submit a statement describing how the faculty member's teaching assignments will be covered during his or her absence, including appropriate budgetary adjustments. Department chairpersons should work with the dean to arrange for suitable part-time teaching assistance, if this is required during the period of the sabbatical leave.
