Applications for such leaves must indicate that the program of activities to be pursued will enhance the recipient's contribution to the College. Applications for sabbatical leave are reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees, who will consider the merit of the application and the recommendation of the President. D8.1.1 Eligibility Full-time tenured faculty and administrators after six years. Six years normally elapse between each sabbatical.
All persons holding academic rank are eligible on the same basis.
D8.1.2 Application Procedures and Decision Processes Application is to be made by October 15 of the year prior to the intended year of Sabbatical. If the situation arises where more applicants are recommended than budget limits allow, seniority will determine priority. In such a situation, seniority will be computed in terms of the number of years since assumption of full-time duties at York College of Pennsylvania or in terms of the number of years since returning from a previous leave of absence from this institution. If there is equal seniority between two or more applicants, the matter will be referred to the Professional Standards Committee for its recommendations. In all but extraordinary cases replacement will be by part-time personnel.
