Faculty Professional Leave Applications Due by Oct. 15
Section 10 of the faculty collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between 草榴社区 and the UFWW provides the following information about faculty professional leave.
Professional leave is granted for the purpose of affording faculty members an opportunity to carry forward research, to improve teaching techniques or methods, or to participate in other creative endeavors which by their nature and scope enable individuals to enhance their contributions to the programs of the university.
Professional leave applications should be submitted electronically. We have created a new website that explains the process and allows you to download the electronic application:
According to the CBA, completed applications for professional leave to be taken during the 2017-18 academic year should be submitted by department chairs to college deans by October 15 and are subsequently due from the deans to the provost by November 15.
Faculty applicants will be notified about decisions concerning professional leave applications by January 31, 2016. Questions about the faculty professional leave process may be directed to Austin Cooper (x3915) in the Provost’s Office.
