Research Leaves. 20.12.1 A librarian on an appointment of at least half-time who is not yet eligible for a first sabbatical leave may be granted short-term professional leave after two years of service to the University at half-time or more. Such leave may be of varying duration, not to exceed two months within any two-year period. In the event a librarian’s appointments since date of hire reflect varying percentage of appointment, such leave shall be granted on the basis of average percentage of appointment since initial hire. Such leave shall be approved by the Chancellor, based upon a proposal that clearly demonstrates the benefit to be gained by the University from the librarian’s exposure to new ideas, skills, and practices. Six months of service upon return shall be required; a librarian who fails to fulfill the service obligation shall be required to repay the University the salary paid during the leave.
