Question of sabbatical leave

[Michael Schachter]

Hi all,

Do any of your colleges have any type of sabbatical leave?
I am not talking about educational leave or personal leave but some kind of leave for things like working full time for a professional organization, writing a book, doing research on a topic that interests you, etc.

Do you know of any community college that has such leave?
I have heard of some that have some kind of banked leave for that purpose.

Much thanks for any help,

Mike

Pensacola Junior college has a sabbatical leave system in place.  Faculty can receive full pay for 1 semester + 1 summer term, or half pay for 1 year.

Yes, our college district (Los Rios Community College District in Sacramento CA) has sabbatical leaves.

Our union negotiated for them -- I believe the money for them actually comes from the pot of money for faculty salaries.  Each college in our district gets a certain number of full semester leaves per year, depending on the size of the college.  

Each college (there are four in our district) awards the leaves in slightly different ways, but in general, faculty must apply for them.  They must have a project in mind that goes beyond the scope of their "normal" duties.  The projects you mentioned are typical -- writing a book, doing research, etc.  However, working at a different job for another salary is frowned upon.  These leaves are quite competitive, I would say there are usually about 3 applicants for each leave awarded.

We also have the banked leaves -- also negotiated through the contract.  To earn a full semester off, a faculty member must do 20 units of overload teaching (without taking the extra pay, of course).  Our normal loads are 15 units, so the district is making a little extra this way -- but I think the rationale is that overload courses are paid at a lower rate (on the adjunct salary scale.)

One advantage of the banked leaves is that the faculty member does not have to report on how the time was spent.  So it is truly a break from work!

Hope this helps,

Yes, the two-year colleges in MN have sabbatical opportunities.  One is
eligible every seven years.  Almost all applications get funded.  If
there are a few that don't, they get priority the next year.  For the
first sabbatical, the pay (if I remember correctly) is 50% for a year,
100% for a semester.  For the second sabbatical it's 80% for a year, and
100% for a semester.

All community colleges in Hawai'i are part of the University of Hawai'i system and thus all have a sabbatical leave policy, the same as the one described by Vicki.

We do. I have taken sabbatical leave twice--once to write math materials and another to finish a dissertation. A sabbatical committee determines what projects are approved.

Here at County College of Morris (NJ) we have had Sabbatical Leaves as part of our contract for a long time.
 
Faculty submit proposals, they are reviewed by a committee of faculty members only and then names are passed on to the administration. The determination of the faculty committee has always been followed, except for one year that I am aware when a change was made.
 
Our contract calls for 4 sabbaticals to be awarded. They can be for 1 semester or for a year. If you take a semester sabbatical, you receive your full pay. If you take a year sabbatical, you receive 1/2 pay for the year.
 
Faculty have used these leaves to write books, take doctoral classes, prepare doctoral thesis proposals, write a thesis, prepare materials for classes - lab manuals, e.g. Our applications must state how our work will help the students and our teaching.
 
For my sabbatical (many years ago), I wrote manuals on using the TI-81 and TI-82 calculators, prepared a videotape on using the calculators, spoke with local area high school mathematics teachers about the use of technology in their schools.
 
My officemate used one of his to prepare materials for classes using Derive.
 
When we complete our sabbaticals, we must submit a report stating what was accomplished.
 
I can send you the wording from our contract is you are interested.
 
Louise Olshan

[Mark Turner-7]

We do here at Cuesta. I just completed a 1-year sabbatical to work on
some writing for a text. Full-time faculty are eligible every 7 years.
With one semester the faculty member receives 100% of their salary. With
a year it is 80% of their salary, but 100% service credit (which affects
retirement). I'm not sure how many sabbatical leaves are approved every
year, and it probably is dependent upon funding.

Those of us who teach developmental mathematics and/or just core classes do not.  We are lecturers and not eligible for sabbatical or tenure because we do not have terminal degrees in our field.  No promotions either.

Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy.

In the Los Angeles Community College District, faculty are eligible for a semester sabbatical every 3.5 years or a full year sabbatical after 7 years. 
 
The faculty member receives 1/2 pay for one semester or 1/2 pay for one year.  (Read that again, we do not get full pay for one semester.) 
 
However, we do have "load banking":  A faculty who accumulates 18 extra units without pay (with a normal load of 15 units/semester) can take a semester off at full pay, or, if eligible for a year's sabbatical, full pay for a full year.
 
I think service credit is reduced to 50% while on sabbatical leave.
