During this time, the participant shall receive exposure to and guidance in the effective administration of the relevant functional area in a systematic fashion.

Employees will be selected to participate in this program on an annual basis. Therefore, allocation of funding in any given year will be at the discretion of the sponsoring institution.
Release time is based upon the number of hours taken by the participant each semester.
Funds for release time are granted to each participant from the desegregation appropriation and the general campus operating budget as noted above. The unused portion of the participant's salary remaining in the general campus operating budget is then used to hire student workers, part-time help, etc. to cover the work while the participant is in class. Where The Participant May Attend Participants may attend public and private institutions of higher education. Requests for tuition and fee costs for participants attending an institution will be reimbursed at the current semester hour rate for that institution.
