Conditions for recipients1) UT-FDL is given in support of the activities described in the recipient’s application. Any major changes in the proposed activity require prior approval from the Provost's Office. Requests for changes should be first approved by the UT-FDL recipient’s supervisor (department chair, where relevant, and dean), and then submitted to the EVPP’s Faculty Affairs team for EVPP approval. 2) A faculty member on faculty development leave may not accept employment from any other person, corporation, or government, unless the governing board determines that it would be in the public interest to do so and expressly approves the employment. 3) Upon completion of the FDL the faculty member must submit a report documenting FDL activities and products (where relevant) and the impact of the FDL on the faculty member’s professional development. A failure to submit the report will make the faculty member ineligible to receive another FDL. 4) The recipient of an UT-FDL during the academic year 2023-2024 is expected to return to normal fulltime professional duties at the University of Texas at Austin for at least the academic year (fall and spring long semesters) of the following Academic Year. A recipient who elects not to return to the university after holding an UT-FDL is obligated to reimburse the university for funds (gross salary plus fringe benefits) expended in support of the UT-FDL. This applies even when the recipient chooses to retire, or to resign from the university for some reason. (See Section 2-2210 of the Handbook of Operating Procedures). 5) Based on Section 51.105 (b) of Texas Education code, a faculty member on FDL “may accept a grant for study, research, or travel from any institution of higher education, from a charitable, religious, or educational corporation or foundation, from any business enterprise, or from any federal, state, or local governmental agency”. Such funding must be approved by the Dean and governing board. |
