Flittie Sabbatical Augmentation
Description: Professor Ed Flittie, a deceased member of the Sociology faculty, bequeathed funds to augment two-semester sabbatical salaries for one or more tenured faculty members each year. College deans may nominate faculty members for this award; the Faculty Development Committee of the Faculty Senate selects the awardees. The amount of the augmentation may be up to 40 percent of the recipient’s base annual salary. Over the past ten years, awards have ranged from $11,500 to $15,000.
Requirements: To be eligible, faculty members must have received approval from Academic Affairs for a two-semester sabbatical leave to conduct projects outside Wyoming. The project must have the potential for enriching instruction at UW. Faculty members who hold administrative appointments other than as department head or its equivalent are not eligible. UW regulations apply; specifically, the award may not be used for pursuing a degree, and total sabbatical remuneration from all sources must not exceed the recipient’s base annual salary from UW.
