Section 3356-10-08 - Sabbatical leave for department chairpersons
Universal Citation: OH Admin Code 3356-10-08
Current through all regulations passed and filed through March 18, 2024
(A) Policy statement. Academic chairpersons may be granted sabbatical leaves to pursue substantial scholarly or professional development activities which benefit both the chairperson and Youngstown state university ("university").
(B) Parameters.
(1) Up to three sabbaticals are provided each
year for academic chairpersons.
(2)
A chairperson who has served as a full-time faculty member and/or chairperson
for the past seven years without a sabbatical is eligible for a sabbatical
after having served at least two years as a chairperson.
(3) The sabbatical can be awarded for a
period of up to twelve months. Sabbatical leave recipients
will receive ninety per cent of their monthly
salary for the period of their leave.
(4) Fringe benefits, including retirement
provisions, will continue during the sabbatical period.
(C) Procedures.
(1) The office of academic affairs
distributes applications and deadline dates during the fall term.
(2) A completed application should be
submitted to the dean of the chairperson's college. The dean will submit the
application with a recommendation to a committee appointed by the provost/vice
president for academic affairs, consisting of five individuals holding faculty
rank. The committee will submit prioritized recommendations to the provost/vice
president for academic affairs, who awards sabbaticals.
(3) Along with the application, applicants
are required to provide a statement detailing substitute administrative
arrangements during the sabbatical. The statement will not be used to evaluate
the merits of the proposal and will be detached from the proposal. The ultimate
funding of a particular proposal may, however, depend upon the suitability of
substitute arrangements.
(4) Upon
completion of the leave, recipients are required to submit a written report of
the results of their work to the dean of their college. The report and the
dean's written review are submitted to the provost/vice president for academic
affairs for inclusion in the chairperson's personnel file in the office of
human resources.
(5) Recipients of
these sabbaticals must return to the university for a minimum of two years of
full-time service following the leave. Failure to adhere to this service
requirement requires the recipient to reimburse the university within a
two-year period for the full amount of the salary provided during the
leave.
