Recognizing that faculty members want and need to be engaged in their respective fields, Long Island University has established a sabbatical system that provides them with relief time from their normal teaching obligations so that they may focus intensively on research, or on artistic or other professional development activities. Sabbatical leaves are intended to enhance intellectual and/or creative vitality and to contribute to the evolution of a faculty member’s respective discipline and profession. These dedicated periods of activity serve to invigorate their teaching as well, thereby enriching the classroom experience for students and making a critical contribution to all that the University has to offer.
For more information on LIU Sabbaticals, please call 516-299-2917, and/or consult Collective Bargaining Agreements located on the HR Labor Relations page.
