Leaves of Absence for Faculty

The university has no standard sabbatical leave program. An application for a leave is considered on its own merits. A combination of factors, among them length of service, scholarly promise, particular contemplated research, nearness to completion of a major book, delays in production caused by heavy teaching, administrative or committee loads, etc., are considered in the granting of a leave.
