教师的叶子
教师, depending on their status (e.g., 全职, 兼职, tenured/tenure-track), 年龄, and length of time working at the university, have access to apply for sabbatical, difference in pay, and other leaves for which they are eligible. The following sections provide important information, 时间线, and forms for these programs, as well as pre-retirement and retirement options for those who are eligible.
Different Types of Leave
Eligible 全职 faculty may apply for 休假 Leaves to focus time and energy on sustained area(s) of research, 奖学金, or creative activity related to their discipline that will bring benefit to the University, 学生, and their own professional development.

Eligible 全职 faculty may apply for a Difference In Pay (DIP) Leave, which is like a sabbatical, but can be taken with greater frequency. With a similar goal for faculty to focus time and energy on a sustained area of research, 奖学金, or creative activity related to their discipline that will bring benefit the University, 学生, and their own professional development, the DIP provides faculty with monthly pay that is the difference between the faculty’s salary and the minimum salary of the instructor rank. There is an annual application process for submission and review of DIP proposals from eligible faculty.
