Performing Arts & Design Program - Type of Support
For awards of released time through the Performing Arts & Design Program, the Campus Research Board will provide to the department/school an amount prorated to the length of requested leave and based on a standard rate of $9,000 for one semester of released time. This rate is the same as for the Humanities Released Time Program and rates for both programs may be adjusted for inflation on occasion, funding permitting. The faculty member’s department may use these funds for either a teaching assistant or wages to hire a qualified instructor to cover the faculty member’s teaching responsibilities during the awarded released time period. The faculty member is thereby released from teaching responsibilities. Other responsibilities such as graduate student supervision or service activities should be negotiated with the department.
