Sabbaticals
Guild members are eligible for a sabbatical leave after six years of continuous service at the College and shall become eligible for subsequent sabbatical leaves after each subsequent six-year period of continuous full-time service at the College. Upon return from a sabbatical leave, the employee agrees to remain in a full-time position for a minimum of one year.
Applying for sabbatical leave:
1. Send your sabbatical application to Kathleen Keane, secretarial assistant to the Academic Vice President. The due date is October 15th of each year. If you have any questions, please contact Sean Tvelia (x4303), Co-Chair of the Sabbatical Committee.
2. Sabbatical applications are reviewed by a committee consisting of four members appointed by the College President and four members by the union, and recommendations to award are made by a majority vote of the committee. Recommendations are made based upon merit, with all applications reviewed blindly.
3. The committee makes a recommendation on the period of the sabbatical (which may differ from the period requested by the applicant), with two four month sabbaticals to be at full pay, two eight month sabbaticals at 75% pay, and two one year sabbaticals at half pay. Alternatively, the sabbatical can be awarded with released time of up to 50 days with the expectation that the Guild member would maintain primary responsibility for carrying out his/her duties.
4. If a sabbatical recommended by the committee is not forwarded to the Board by the College President, the Committee will be so advised in writing.
Neither the committee nor the president, are obligated to recommend the full number of sabbaticals if there are not enough that meet the merit criteria. In addition to existing criteria, the applicant must demonstrate that the proposal will involve activity at least equivalent to a full time administrative work load and is beyond the professional activity expected to be performed concurrent with full time duties.
An administrator granted and accepting a sabbatical who fails to complete the sabbatical as awarded, or modified or waived with committee approval, shall be required to reimburse the college for all monies paid under this provision to the administrator during the period of said leave.
Examples of sabbatical proposals:
Examples
Appropriate proposals would include writing a significant work for publication, doing a significant research project or dissertation that complies with the permitted purposes for a sabbatical and is within the context of professional review, or developing a new curriculum or program (which is consistent with college plans) or other work as approved by the Committee and the College President.
