The College of Arts and Sciences recognizes that all faculty have families and commitments outside of their professional life.  Over the last several years the college developed a set of programs to help faculty facilitate their work while enhancing their life.  For example, the college has a modified duties policy to help faculty adjust to the birth or adoption of a child.  The college also offers an excellent sabbatical leave policy (two-thirds salary for one year leave).  The links on the right, under policies, offer details on all of the college's programs aimed to facilitate work while enhancing life.
