3.1.5.11.2 Extended Research Leaves of Absence

(Charter)

Extended research leaves of absence are granted for faculty with exceptional opportunities to contribute to their discipline and to the University. Normally the research leave may be granted for up to one year but may be granted for a maximum of fifteen months, once every fifth year. In most cases the salary is fully or partially covered by non-university funds, although the University may grant up to full salary when external funds are not sufficient. In addition, allocations for travel and other expenses may be granted.
