Statement

[Faculty Handbook, p. 115, A. 5: Faculty members who are eligible for sabbatical and wish to request the opportunity must ordinarily file initial application, which includes a description of the intended activities, with the provost no later than December 15th of the second year preceding the school year during which the sabbatical is desired. Copies of the application should be submitted to one's departmental chair and divisional or school dean. The provost, in light of the criteria listed in Section D, and of recommendations of the other academic administrators involved and of the Faculty Committee on Rank and Tenure, will issue provisional approval or will defer or deny the request. In the case of a denial, appeal may be made to the president.] [Faculty Handbook, p. 115, A. 6: By October 15th of the year preceding the requested sabbatical, those faculty members who received provisional approval should provide the above administrators* with as nearly finalized plans for the requested sabbatical as possible. Recommendations for or against final approval will then be made by the provost to the president. Those sabbatical requests endorsed by the president will then be submitted to the Board of Regents for final action. If sabbatical plans are changed significantly from those approved by the board, reapproval by the provost and president must be obtained.]
