Teaching Release for Probationary Faculty

Pending a successful third-year progress review, all probationary faculty appointed in August 2005 and thereafter are eligible for a semester release from teaching without a reduction in salary during their fourth-year of probation. Natural Science and Psychology faculty have the option to take this teaching release during their first year of probation in order to set up research laboratories. The semester teaching release is offered so that probationary faculty may focus single-mindedly on their research responsibilities in the run-up to tenure review.
