In granting such leave, the Chief Librarian shall ensure that the staffing requirements are adequately met.

Research and Study Leave. Victoria University maintains a policy of research leave intended for academic study, research, writing and creative professional development which provides means for faculty members to increase their knowledge, further their research and scholarship, stimulate their intellectual interests, and strengthen their contacts with the community of scholars, thus enhancing their contributions to the research and teaching activities of the University. Research leave shall be regulated by the following principles:

Such leave shall not be unreasonably denied. Research leave normally will commence on July 1.
(b) As an alternative, each faculty member on 50 percent or greater appointment shall be entitled to apply for research leave of six months at full salary, after the same period of service. Such leave shall not be unreasonably denied. Such leave may commence either July 1 or January 1, subject to the approval of his or her Principal.

Such leave shall not be unreasonably denied.
(d) A faculty member who is entitled to apply for a research leave under (a) above, may request that he or she defer the leave by up to one year.
