Faculty Leaves Sample Clauses

The "Faculty Leaves" clause defines the rules and procedures governing when and how faculty members may take time away from their professional duties. It typically outlines the types of leave available, such as sabbatical, medical, or personal leave, and specifies eligibility requirements, application processes, and any limitations on duration or frequency. By clearly establishing these guidelines, the clause ensures both faculty and the institution understand their rights and obligations, thereby minimizing misunderstandings and maintaining continuity in academic operations.
