"Bill Hill" asked "There has been some discussion about expectations for the length of time a person should agree to return to the university after a sabbatical leave? Some have suggested 1 years, others 2. I would appreciate some feedback on the average."
Our university says you must return for t least one year. Then he asked "Also, a related discussion is the award of a sabbatical leave relative to an anticipated retirement date. The general opinion so far has been that a person should not plan to retire within 2 years of the leave. Again, feedback?" At our university, the "must return for 1 year" rule would also apply to retirements. Ed Edward I.
