Leaves Without Pay. The President may grant unpaid full or partial leaves of absence for one (1) semester or one (1) year to full-time members. The President will report such leaves to the Board. Applications shall be filed not later than October 1 or February 1 preceding the semester in which the leave is requested. During an unpaid leave, a member may exercise the option of continuing all benefits normally provided by the University by paying all of the required premiums for such benefits. Leaves without pay shall be classified as: (a) pursuit of the member’s scholarly discipline; or (b) other purposes. A letter from the President granting such leave shall state for which of these purposes the leave is being granted. Leaves without pay in pursuit of the member’s scholarly discipline shall be considered periods of service for purposes of seniority, eligibility for tenure, promotion, or sabbatic leave. Leaves without pay for other purposes shall not be considered periods of service for purposes of seniority, eligibility for tenure, promotion, or sabbatic leave. Effective only upon return to active status, a member returning from leave of absence without pay shall be accorded all collective bargaining increases to base salary and fringe benefits which became effective during the period of the member’s leave of absence without pay which would have applied to the member had he/she not been on leave of absence without pay.
