Sabbatical Leaves: See Faculty Handbook, Section 3.22 , Sabbatical Leaves, for information.
Other Leaves: Scripps College recognizes that its faculty, in the normal period of their active duties, may sometimes find it necessary to apply for leave from their responsibilities to the College.
Professional and Personal Leaves: Application for leaves of absence for personal or professional reasons (to pursue research with a grant of fellowship, or to teach at another educational institution) should be directed to the President through the Dean of the Faculty and Committee on Appointments, Promotions and Tenure. The chair of the faculty member’s department must submit a letter to the Dean stating the impact of the proposed leave on the department and affiliated programs. Leaves without pay for a semester or a year may be requested and granted without regard to rank or term of service, but no combination of sabbatical leave and leaves without pay can exceed two years of continuous absence. It is expected that faculty members will return for at least one year after a leave. Leaves for personal or professional reasons will normally defer eligibility for promotion or tenure for the period of the leave, the faculty member may apply to APT to be considered for promotion or tenure at the customary time. The College does not normally continue to pay its portion of the employee’s benefits during unpaid leaves. However, in the case of those who receive an academic position, grant or fellowship support, the College will continue to pay its portion of the employee’s benefits during this professional leave.
Personal Leaves
To avoid deferral of a regularly scheduled sabbatical or promotion, faculty wishing that their personal leave count towards their next sabbatical or promotion must submit this request in writing to the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee at the time the request for personal leave is made. A recommendation from the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee must be approved by the President and by the Board of Trustees.
Professional Leaves
To avoid a deferral of a regularly scheduled promotion, faculty wishing that their professional leave count towards promotion as it would in a regular teaching year must submit this request in writing to the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee at the time the request for professional leave is made. A recommendation from the Appointments, Promotions and Tenure Committee must be approved by the President and by the Board of Trustees. However, professional leaves cannot be counted towards the next sabbatical.
Course replacements for faculty leaves are not automatic. Department chairs are required to complete a “DEPARTMENTAL REQUEST FOR COURSE REPLACEMENT FORM” and submit this to the Faculty Executive Committee for approval.
Faculty Disability and Family Medical Leaves (including pregnancy and childcare): See Faculty Handbook, Section 3.3 , Scripps College Disability and Family Medical Leave Policy for information.
