provisions of Article XIII: Leaves of the 2008-2011 Agreement.
Six sabbatical applications were submitted for consideration to the faculty Sabbatical Selection
Committee, chaired by Professor Molly Morse. Following the Committee's review of the written
applications and applicant interviews, six proposals are attached for the Board's review. The
Committee recommended full year (three quarters) sabbatical leave for four faculty members at 86%
compensation, and two 2-quarter sabbatical leave for two faculty members at 86% compensation.
