Professional Leaves for Faculty
Overview
The College's program of professional leaves for continuing members of the faculty reflects a strong institutional commitment to faculty scholarship and to the relationship between research and teaching.
The College considers professional leaves to be precious time dedicated to a faculty member’s professional growth and enhancement of his/her teaching effectiveness. When these goals are realized, our academic programs are stronger and our students benefit. The Faculty Handbook * outlines the different leave types and various aspects of professional leaves for faculty including:
- Eligibility and determining years of service
- Requirement to seek outside funding for salary support
- Application/deferral procedures
- Postponement procedures
- Special circumstances
- Leave Report
