What is the difference between Type A, Type B, and Difference-in-Pay Leaves?
Type A are full-salary leaves, lasting one semester for academic year faculty and four months for librarians. Type B are one-half-salary leaves, lasting two semesters for academic year faculty and eight months for librarians. The salary for a difference-in-pay leave is the difference between the faculty’s salary and the minimum salary of the instructor rank. Difference-in-Pay leaves are not under the purview of the Professional Leaves Committee; however, faculty considering a Type B sabbatical leave, particularly senior faculty, should investigate the possible advantages of applying for a Difference-in-Pay leave.
