Absence of any member of the faculty
from ordinary service in the university, for any cause other than sickness,
must be with the knowledge and approval of his or her chair or director and of
the dean of the college, or, in the case of faculty assigned to a regional
campus, the dean and director of that campus. Absences longer than ten
consecutive business days, must also be approved by the executive vice
president and provost. Sick leave is granted on approval of the appropriate
administrative official when notification is given as soon as practicable,
presumably on the first day of absence.
