CSUS Policy Regarding Leave with Pay

In extraordinary circumstances, the Chancellor with the approval of the Board of Trustees may grant leave with pay for not more than six (6) months if it is in the best interest of the University System and/or the universities. Such leave should serve the operational needs of the System and would be granted solely for that purpose. During said leave, the individual on leave may be assigned projects or tasks that the Chancellor deems beneficial to the Connecticut State University System or its constituent universities. Such leaves may also be granted at the universities on the recommendation of the university president and with the written approval of the Chancellor and Board of Trustees. If the Board of Trustees wishes to grant such a leave to the Chancellor, it may do so with the approval of the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees.

Leaves approved by the Chancellor or Board of Trustees shall be reported to the Board of Trustees on the CSU-1 form.
