Faculty and staff members are expected to provide a written proposal for their intended domestic/international teaching, research, or service and obtain written approval from their respective chairs, deans, and the Provost to participate in the opportunity. Faculty members who have completed at least one academic year at KSU may participate in this opportunity at any point in their careers and do not need to apply for, or be eligible to be awarded, a formal sabbatical leave to lead or engage in a study abroad program, study away program, or domestic or international exchange opportunity.
An exchange teaching, research, or service opportunity will be counted as part of a faculty member's progress towards tenure and/or promotion and as part of his or her five-year review. Teaching evaluations, if available through the partner institution, will be administered with the option of inclusion in the Kentucky State University faculty member's portfolio.
All faculty and staff members participating in exchange and abroad/away programs remain employees and representatives of Kentucky State University and are expected to follow procedures, processes and conduct expectations as outlined in the current Faculty Handbook, Staff Handbook, and HR Policy Manual.
