26.0 II-2.00-POLICY ON SABBATICAL LEAVE FOR FACULTY
 
  (Approved by the Board of Regents, November 30, 1989)
 
 
       The President of an institution may grant sabbatical leaves
  to faculty members.  The primary purpose of such leaves is to
  provide an opportunity for a faculty member to conduct scholarly
  or creative work in order to increase his or her contribution to
  the mission of the institution, and to enhance his or her
  standing in the discipline or profession.
 
 
  1.   To be eligible for sabbatical leave, a full-time faculty
       member shall have been granted tenure and shall have
       completed at least six years of service at the time of an
       initial sabbatical leave or since the last previously
       granted sabbatical leave.  A part-time faculty member shall
       have been granted tenure and shall have completed six or
       more years of at least half-time service.  Ordinarily, a
       leave of absence without pay shall not be regarded as
       service to the institution for purposes of determining
       eligibility for sabbatical leave.
 
  2.   Ordinarily, sabbatical leave will be granted for one-half of
       the recipient's annual contract period at his or her normal
       compensation or for the full annual contract period at one-
       half normal compensation for both full and part-time
       faculty.
 
  3.   Ordinarily, as a condition for receiving a sabbatical leave
       the recipient shall agree to return promptly to the
       institution at the termination of the leave and to serve on
       his or her normal basis for at least one academic year.
 
  4.   During the period of sabbatical leave, the recipient will be
       permitted, with the approval of the President or designee,
       to accept, in addition to the compensation he or she
       receives from the institution, grants, awards, contracts,
       fellowships, or other compensation or stipends as may be
       related to the approved sabbatical leave project.
 
  5.   While on sabbatical leave, the recipient may accept
       compensation for consulting services rendered during the
       sabbatical leave, provided that such services shall not
       exceed those allowed by the University System Policy on
       Professional Commitment of Faculty, and that they do not
       interfere with his or her approved sabbatical leave project.
  6.   Each institution shall develop procedures for implementation
       of this policy, including the requirement of a summary
       report on sabbatical activities by the faculty member.
       These procedures shall be filed with the office of the
       Chancellor.
