See HOP 2-2210: Faculty Leaves and Special Faculty Assignments.
A request for a special faculty assignment normally is initiated at a department chair or Dean level and must be approved by the department chair, Dean, and Provost's Office. Each request must be accompanied by a full description of the duties of the faculty member while on special faculty assignment.
Special Faculty Assignments do not require submission of a Faculty Request for Leave form.
Periods during which a faculty member with the academic rank of Instructor or Assistant Professor receives one of these assignments will count as part of the probationary period related to the acquisition of tenure.
