There are basically lwo ways
to look at the idea of sabbatical
leaves, said Dr. T.K. Olsen,
director of the Oregon Educa
tional Coordinating Commis
sion. “On one hand, for the rest
of the world that is not used to
sabbatical leave, it's a peculiar,
arrogant element of academe
and it looks like a gross, un
necessary expense.
"Hut within academe where
it's done well, it really ac
complishes the purposes for
which it was intended."
The Oregon Administrative
Kules on sabbatical leave say it
is for “purposes of research,
writing, advanced study,
travel. . or related scholarly or
professional activities." Ad
ministrators and faculty
members say it's also a chance
to rejuvenate.
The State Board of Higher
Education recently changed the
eligiblity requirements for sab
batical leaves to include part
time as well as full-time faculty
members. Now. any faculty
member who is employed at
least half-time for six con
tinuous years at a state college
or university is eligihle for one
term of leave with HTi percent
pay. two terms with 75 percent
or three terms with (»0 percent.
The administrative rules say
sabbatical leave is a privilege
and not a right. "It is granted
only when. .. used in a manner
which will provide greater ser
vice to the institution and to the
state."
When applying for sabbatical,
faculty members must propose a
project that relates to their field.
Hynes said. The sabbaticals
then have to be approved by a
long chain of administrators.
But Hynes said he knows of
only one request for sabbatical

leave ever denied, ami that was
denied on a technicality.
Some faculty member# do
earn a supplemental income
through part-time work or lec
turing at another college, but
most do not. Hynes said. “It's
not permissible to take a full
time job while on sabbatical
leave from the University." he
said. "Sabbatical leave is not in
tended to allow you to increase
your income, but if the two
coincide, that's fine. There's no
rule against it."
The administrative rules say
faculty members on sabbatical
may supplement their salaries
to a "reasonable degree" if it
does not interfere with the oh
jectives of the leave.
Hut the term "reasonable
degree” is open to interpreta
tion. and that can lead to confu
sion. such as the controversy
surrounding Steve
Goldschmidt’* sabbatical
"We do our best to make sun*
the sabbatical is used for the
purpose* it is meant for,"
Hynes said. "It's a pretty
carefully monitored process "
There have been two cases
where faculty members were
asked to pay track their sab
batical pay. Hynes said In both
cases, the faculty members did
not work on the project they
proposed, but spent their time
on irrelevant, and very pro
fitable. activities, he said.
The majority of faculty
members use their sabbatical
leaves to research and write ar
ticles and hooks, which are
often published and may be
profitable
Michael Hibbard, an associate
professor in the Department of
Planning. Public Policy and
Management, recently returned
from a two-term sabbatical
I wive, during which he visited
small timber communities in
Oregon and British Columbia to
study the effects of mill closures
in those communities
Articles he wrote about that
research are being published,
he said. Two research grants
helped him pay the travel and
research expenses, but he did
not earn other supplemental
income.
"Sabbaticals are real impor
tant. The U of O wants to be a
research university, and that
means it has to provide the op
portunity," Hibbard said. Sab
batical leave is one of the few
things the University has to
offer.
Hut some people do abuse the
sabiiatical leave system, he said.
Different people have different
ideas uImiiiI the legitimate use of
sabbaticals. "Other people
think of a sabbatical as a kind oi
paid vacation, a break They
think that is a perfectly
legitimate use of sabbatical," he
said.
"People's needs differ, so
then> are a lot of different types
of uses of sabbatical." said Sally
Fullerton, the head of the
human services department.
Fullerton recently returned
from a one-term leave, which
she spent “thinking gathering
and organizing material" for a
hook she plans to write.

A lot of his time during the

son who was Itorn last spring.
Barton said. "That's an ex
