The purpose of a Sabbatical or DIP (Difference in Pay) leave is to help advance research, scholarship, or creative agenda for faculty, as well as enhance education for students and the reputation of the university. As stated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, a faculty member on Sabbatical or DIP leave “shall not accept additional and/or outside employment without prior approval of the President and the justification must be clearly outlined in the sabbatical proposal.”

If your plans include any form of additional income (including grants, teaching, consulting, committees, etc.), you are required to complete this form prior to your leave acceptance.
