President. In the event that the employee does not satisfactorily complete the project at the conclusion of the leave period, Kentucky State University may require full repayment of compensation paid during the sabbatical leave.
In some cases, it may be in the best interests of the University to negotiate a severance agreement with an administrator. In certain circumstances, these employees are entitled to notice of the discontinuation of their employment, including his/her faculty appointment and regardless of tenure status, with full pay for up to 90 days or severance pay, depending on their length of service. The President may, at his or her discretion, determine that the circumstances justify continuing full pay for employees for up to 90 days, subject to potential Board Approval pursuant to Article II, Section 2(p) of the Gold Book: Bylaws of the Kentucky State University Board of Regents.
Nothing in this policy shall prevent a tenured faculty member from immediately participating in retirement, consistent with existing Kentucky State University policies.
