SABBATICAL LEAVE ANNOUNCEMENT

While this announcement appeared in today's Green & White, I thought it should be repeated here:

Sabbatical leave is awarded to faculty members for the purpose of professional development or advancement and ultimately benefits the faculty member, students and the college.

Each year, the Board of Trustees awards a number of sabbatical leaves for the following academic year, and now is the time for faculty members to begin preparation of their sabbatical leave proposal.

Faculty members who have completed seven full academic years of full–time service as a faculty member at PJC are eligible to apply for sabbatical leave. Eligibility criteria and application procedures are outlined in Article 14, Section 14.07 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The deadline to submit a sabbatical leave application to the Vice President for Instructional Affairs is on or before Jan. 10. Because Jan. 10 is a Saturday, applications are due Friday, Jan. 9.

Regarding faculty retrenchment, I don't know faculty who have went through retrenchment. The faculty retrenchment offering is for peace of mind I suppose. It doesn't and hasn't cost anything. I do know what the administrator informal retrenchment plan has been. Retrenched administrators get a new snazzy title for a position where they do nothing. That way they don't goof anything up and piss the least amount of people off.
