Each member of the committee reads each application and scores it from 0 -50 points based on the merit of the proposal. These scores are then averaged to arrive at the merit score. Years of service are credited at 3 points for every year of service beyond seven (i.e., 10 years of service would yield 9 points). Years of service are credited up to the beginning of the sabbatical leave applied for (in this case, through May 2009). To get total points, we add the averaged merit points and points for years of service.

Article 18. A. 11 of the contract reads: Each university may grant sabbatical leaves of absence in any one (1) year to up to seven percent (7%) of its faculty.

If an applicant had previously taken a sabbatical leave, the appropriate number of years will be deducted from years of service (7 for 1/2 year, 14 for a full year, full pay).

Quality supporting material, but not quantity. Keep it simple so we can understand the purpose. Follow the guidelines set out in the application document.

Include documentation only if it is directly relevant to the project proposed. Keep documentation to a minimum.

Written sabbatical leave reports must be submitted to the President by the end of the first semester after the sabbatical leave is complete.

The application due date is Monday, March 24, 2008. Applicants must deliver two (2) copies of their application to Corene Glotfelty or Connie Gamaluddin or their representatives at the Reference Desk in the library by 4:30 p.m., Monday, March 26, 2007. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT DEADLINE. No exceptions will be made to the deadline. Applicants should be sure to get a receipt.

Two successful applications from last year are on reserve at the library under Sabbatical Leave Application.
