Policy 6-314: Leaves of Absence for Faculty and Related Regulations
Effective April 9, 2024, the University revised the following leaves of absence regulations have been updated and approved: Policy 5-201 and Rule R5-201A, Policy 5-202, and Policy 6-314. In addition, the University created three new rules:
- Rule R6-314A: Faculty Sabbatical Leaves
- Rule R6-314B: Administrator Leave for Administrators with Tenure-line or Career-line Faculty Appointments
- Rule R6-314C: Leaves of Absence without Pay and Leaves of Absence with Partial Pay
Changes to these regulations were made to alleviate pain points and to reduce misinformation. Updates include centralizing faculty leaves, removing duplicate information, to separating certain faculty leave types into new rules for easy access, renaming administrative leave to administrator leave, editing and reorganizing language to improve clarity and flow, removing outdated practices and requirements, and simplifying procedures. In addition, eligibility for administrator and sabbatical leaves have been clarified and the partially paid leave of absence had been added to regulations.
