The College of Basic Sciences actively encourages faculty to take advantage of sabbatical opportunities.
Full-time faculty at the rank of instructor or above who have completed six years of service without leave with pay may apply for a sabbatical. Sabbatical leave is intended to afford our top scholars the opportunity to participate in research and projects away from campus that they would normally not be able to take advantage of because of their institutional responsibilities. For detailed information, please refer to page 17 of the Faculty Handbook, PS-12 Leave Guidelines, and Chapter III, Section 3-1, of the Bylaws & Regulations of the Board of Supervisors.
The guidelines that BASC faculty should follow in formulating their sabbatical plans and putting together an application packet are here in Word .doc, in Word .docx, and Adobe .pdf formats. Note that the pdf is not an editable form. Memos detailing the evaluation criteria from Interim Executive Vice Chancellor & Provost Harold Silverman and LSU System Vice President Hargrave are posted HERE.
A good example of a successful application, courtesy of Prof. Kenneth Schafer is available HERE for your examination. |
