Changes in Authority for Leaves without Pay – Professor Series

August 02, 2010

By David S. Kliger, Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor 

Dear Colleagues:

Effective with the beginning of fall quarter, September 18, 2010, the CP/EVC rescinds authority for leaves without pay, except for the following:

• Assistant Professors: Deans retain authority for leaves of one quarter at a time, for a nonconsecutive combined total of one year of leave without pay at the rank of Assistant Professor;

• Associate and Full Professors: Deans retain authority for one year of leave without pay within a five-year period; and

• Deans have authority to approve leaves without pay of any duration, and at any rank, if the leave involves the acceptance of a fellowship or an NSF career award.

The Delegation of Authority chart for leaves has been updated and can be viewed here: http://apo.ucsc.edu/academic_policies_and_procedures/cappm/900700.htm#leave_authority

Please direct any questions regarding this information to your analyst in the campus Academic Personnel Office.

Sincerely,

David S. Kliger

Campus Provost and

Executive Vice Chancellor
