Sabbatical application deadline extended to Feb. 22
Faculty members have until Tuesday, Feb. 22, to apply for a sabbatical leave to be taken during the 2022-23 academic year.
- Any tenured faculty member who has not taken a sabbatical leave in the past 5 years is eligible to apply for a sabbatical: a one- or two-semester release from typical faculty work.
- The deadline for submitting applications was extended by agreement of AAUP and the College administration.
Two types of sabbaticals may be granted:
- Project: The faculty member undertakes specific activities that could involve planned study, research, travel, program or department development, return to industry, or other approved creative work of benefit to the faculty members and to the College.
- Advanced Degree: The faculty member pursues an advanced degree necessary to start or continue the operation of an academic program or department.
- Details of the sabbatical process are described in AAUP Contract Article 15-C.
