Completion of Sabbatical Leave. a. Upon completion of the sabbatical leave, the recipient must return to college duties for a period of time at least equal to that of the approved sabbatical leave before they are eligible to apply for another sabbatical leave. Failure to return from leave as outlined in the signed contract will result in the recipient repaying all salary provided by the college during the approved leave. The recipient shall be placed in a position at a salary no less than the one received before the leave. It is the intention of the college to place the recipient in the same or similar position upon return. b. A written report of sabbatical leave activities shall be submitted to the President within three months of the return from leave. The report should address the proposal in the application for leave, describe what was accomplished, and explain the current status of the project. The report may also describe other professional accomplishments during the time of the leave. The recipient must also report the results of the sabbatical leave to the campus community. Options include, but are not limited to, a public lecture or presentation, a website devoted to the project, or a written summation made available through the college library. c. The time spent on sabbatical leave will be recognized as equivalent to time spent as a full-time faculty member of the college and will constitute fulfillment of instructions, service, and professional development responsibilities for the time spent on sabbatical. While on sabbatical leave, faculty may use budgeted travel funds and may earn PDUs for professional development activities based on the language in Article XV of the current negotiated agreement.
