Sabbaticals. The parties agree that research and development programs are intended to advance the abilities of faculty members and to strengthen the university as well. Such programs contribute significantly to the quality and success of research universities. Sabbaticals are granted to tenured faculty members to permit them to engage in intensive programs of research and/or study. Sabbaticals constitute a research assignment and are granted to faculty members to enable them to further their research or other creative activities, to improve teaching skills, to enhance the university’s distinction and a faculty member’s value to the university. Sabbaticals are granted in a process described in this Article.
