5.12 Sub-division Handbooks The departments and sub-divisions of the University have policies and procedures available to staff members in a departmental or sub-divisional handbook. Periodic meetings of the faculties of the separate departments, schools or other sub-divisions of the University are held, generally a regular basis, which is announced or determined at the beginning of a term. Faculty members are expected to be present at all regular and called meetings of their department or school. Such meetings are usually devoted to discussions and presentations, which are important in providing faculty members with late information on University programs. The handbooks of the several departments and sub-divisions give detailed information about faculty and staff meetings. At various times during the year, general meetings of the entire University faculty are scheduled. The University faculty usually meets just prior to the beginning of a regular academic year and at the beginning of the summer session. Other general faculty meetings, however, may be scheduled as occasions for them arise. Notice of such meetings is circulated to faculty members early enough to give ample time for teachers to be properly notified. 5.13 Faculty Leaves All leaves from designated duties at the University require official approval. The following are the types of leaves: A. Sabbatical Leaves 1) Policy All faculty members must, (by June 30), prior to the year for which the leave is requested, have completed a period of six (6) or more consecutive years of service at the university before they are eligible to apply for a sabbatical leave. a) Application shall be submitted to the President of the University no later than February 1st of each year. b) Application may be made for the purpose of pursuing a substantial project designed to yield publishable results and/or to enhance competency as a scholar or teacher. Sabbatical leaves may also be granted for the pursuit of an accredited terminal degree in an appropriate field of study. For faculty in the area of fine and performing arts, creative work may be considered the equivalent of scholarship. c) The Faculty Development Committee shall review the academic merits of each application. d) The President shall take into consideration the recommendations of the committee and shall make recommendation for approval or disapproval to the Board of Regents. 48
2. Terms of Sabbatical Leave a) Half-year leaves shall be at full salary. b) Year leaves shall be at the rate of half salary. c) The period of the leave shall be credited for increment purposes, where such credit is relevant. d) A faculty member on sabbatical leave shall be entitled to the continuation of pension and insurance program benefits as provided by the state. e) Each faculty member accepting a leave must sign a written statement obligating him or her to continue to serve for at least one year after expiration of the term of the leave. f) Faculty members on such leave are permitted to receive additional compensation in the form of fellowships, government grants, and honoraria for the purposes related to the leave. They may also accept part-time employment directly related to the project at an institution where they are in residence for the purpose of study and research in addition to the partial salary from the University. However, total compensation from all sources may not exceed the faculty member’s full salary at the University. The leave may not be used to accept paid employment during the period of the leave except as provided above. g) Faculty on sabbatical leave may engage in outside employment if it does not conflict with the purpose of the sabbatical leave, and the faculty member reports the outside employment before going on leave. B. Faculty Development Leaves. Development leaves for faculty members may be granted as set out in Texas Education Code, Chapter 51, Subchapter C. This law provides that after two consecutive academic years at the same institution, faculty members as defined in this law may be considered for a faculty development leave for one academic year at onehalf of regular salary or for one-half academic year at full regular salary. Such leaves shall be granted pursuant to procedures outlined in the Act and to the limitations therein. C. Annual Leaves. Faculty members who have a nine-month (academic year) appointment do not accrue annual leave. In the case of faculty who hold twelve-month administrative appointments, leaves are accumulated at a rate that depends upon the length of service. The rates of accumulation and the maximum carry forward number of hours are set forth in the Personnel Manual. The Manual sets forth nine (9) brackets ranging from seven (7) hours of accrued leave and twenty-one (21) days of carry-over 49
