Sabbatical leave is a privilege granted by the university in order to promote the professional development of faculty. Sabbaticals involve a considerable investment by the university and are greatly valued by the academic community: they should be treated accordingly.
Sabbatical Applications. Sabbaticals are intended to promote professional development by allowing an opportunity for extraordinary work: that is, something beyond work done during a regular academic year. Applications should clearly describe how a project fits into the applicant's career (builds on past work and promoting significant growth), as well as providing a detailed plan of what will be done, where it will be done, what resources (e.g., collections, field site) will be involved, and what will be produced (e.g., book draft, completed articles, & so forth).
Sabbatical Reports. Faculty are contractually obliged to write an appropriate report on sabbatical activity by the eighth week of the semester they return. (Note, this should be provided to the chair and forwarded to the Dean's office for review prior to this deadline.) This may be succinct (2-4 pages), but it must provide a clear, professional account of sabbatical activities and accomplishments, in relation to the initial proposal and, most importantly, how they contributed to the individual's professional development.
