Academic Year Sabbaticals. Faculty members awarded Sabbatical Leave shall receive a stipend equal to four percent (4%) of their base salary per quarter of service, up to twenty (20) quarters. The maximum stipend allowance will not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the faculty member’s base salary. Faculty receiving a second or subsequent sabbatical shall receive a stipend based upon total quarters of service at the College. The aggregate cost of such leaves during any year, including the cost of replacement, shall not exceed one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the cost of salaries which otherwise would have been paid to personnel on leave. In no case shall the cost of replacement personnel owing to workload factors alone be permitted to prevent a faculty member from being granted a Sabbatical Leave.
