SECTION 13: FACULTY GROWTH AND DEVELOPEMENT


(revised 05/15/2020 board meeting)

13.1.0 Sabbatical Leave

(revised 02/03/2012 board meeting)

As time and resources allow, all tenured faculty with at least six years of service at Simpson College, regardless of rank and including the president of the college and the deans of the college, who have not recently had extensive leave on any basis, may apply for sabbatical leave following procedures outlined in the Faculty Handbook Part III: Personnel Procedures, Section 8 .

13.2.0 Leaves of Absence

The college administration and trustees endeavor, whenever possible, to grant leave of absence without pay upon request, but the time spent on the leave usually shall not count toward the time necessary for earning tenure and/or promotion. Staff benefits usually do not continue during a leave of absence. Medical insurance coverage, however, may be negotiated with the college administration.

Leaves of absence with partial pay may be granted if the circumstances warrant this action, but the time spent in this status usually shall not count toward the time required for tenure and/or promotion.
