SUBJECT:  Revised Academic Personnel Policies 740 and 758

The University has issued revised Academic Personnel Policies (APM) 740 on Sabbatical Leave and 758 on Other Leaves with Pay, effective September 30, 2003. These revisions follow from changes made to Regents' policy at the July 2003 meeting, and changes made to Standing Order 103.4 of The Regents at their September 2003 meeting.

The three major revisions to the policies are as follows:

* As an exception to policy, a faculty member would be allowed to
   substitute significant University service for some or all of the
   teaching requirement for a sabbatical in residence.
* Recipients of a sabbatical leave at less than full salary would be
   allowed to receive additional compensation for research from another
   university.
* As part of the policy on leaves with pay (APM 758), a faculty member
   who holds a full-time administrative position for five years or more
   would be allowed to take an administrative leave immediately after
   that service. This leave would be in lieu of a sabbatical leave.

The revised policies are available at the web sites listed below:
