<strong>The</strong> University also examines the needs of individual faculty mem<strong>be</strong>rs for personal computer upgrades<br />

and replacements, printers and software which are compatible with University-wide information<br />

technology support services as explicated in departmental budget requests and/or individual requests and<br />

to act favorably on these requests whenever feasible.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se lists are not intended to prevent upgrades in office space or equipment.<br />

11.5 <strong>Faculty</strong> Administrative Support<br />

<strong>Regis</strong> University will make available to the faculty the services of at least one part-time administrative<br />

support position for each of the major departments and programs. <strong>The</strong> Dean or designee shall keep the<br />

faculty informed of the location of these administrative support staff. General regulations governing the<br />

services of a faculty administrative support staff mem<strong>be</strong>r are:<br />

11.6 Sabbatical Leave<br />

a. the work submitted should have a direct <strong>be</strong>aring on the faculty mem<strong>be</strong>r's University<br />

responsibilities;<br />

b. all work will <strong>be</strong> done on a “first come, first served” basis; and<br />

c. sufficient time should <strong>be</strong> allowed for the completion of any work submitted. Although as<br />

prompt a service as possible will <strong>be</strong> provided, no positive assurance can <strong>be</strong> given that<br />

material will always <strong>be</strong> ready at a given time.<br />

<strong>Regis</strong> <strong>College</strong>, recognizing the necessity for faculty to acquire new experiences to enrich their teaching<br />

and professional activities or to secure uninterrupted time for research and writing, provides them with<br />

sabbatical leaves. <strong>The</strong> <strong>College</strong> encourages professional growth and increased competence and<br />

productivity among mem<strong>be</strong>rs by subsidizing significant research, creative work, or a program which is<br />

judged by the <strong>Faculty</strong> Development Committee to <strong>be</strong> of equivalent value, such as some other program of<br />

study, or an organized experiential program, or an exchange of responsibilities with faculty at another<br />

four year college or university.<br />

11.6.1 Eligibility<br />

Any faculty mem<strong>be</strong>r with the rank of Assistant Professor or higher who has served <strong>full</strong> time for<br />

six academic years at <strong>Regis</strong> University or who has completed six academic years of <strong>full</strong>-time<br />

service at <strong>Regis</strong> University since the last sabbatical is eligible for a sabbatical leave. Normally,<br />

appointment periods as an unranked faculty mem<strong>be</strong>r or as a ranked mem<strong>be</strong>r on a term<br />

appointment do not apply.<br />

11.6.2 Stipend<br />

Stipends for sabbatical leaves are one semester at <strong>full</strong> salary or one academic year at one-half of<br />

<strong>full</strong> salary. Salary means the equivalent of that provided in the Salary Document. Normal raises<br />

and <strong>be</strong>nefits will not <strong>be</strong> withheld by reason of the sabbatical leave. Moreover, while the mem<strong>be</strong>r<br />

is on sabbatical leave, both the mem<strong>be</strong>r and the University will continue to pay their normal <strong>full</strong><br />

share toward retirement, group life, health, disability insurance, and federal and state programs to<br />

the extent permitted by law.<br />
