SABBATICAL LEAVE POLICY. The primary purpose of a sabbatical leave is to encourage and promote the professional growth of the faculty and to enhance their scholarly and teaching effectiveness. Such leaves contribute to the accomplishment of these ends by enabling the faculty to undertake specific, planned activities involving study, research, scholarship, and creative work of mutual benefit to the faculty member and the University.
