7. Earnings during Sabbatical. If you expect to engage in any money-earning activities during the semester or academic year of your sabbatical, please explain the nature of the expected earnings. Policy 2.114 in section I.B. states: “Restrictions on Service and Salary.  Additional income may be derived from fellowships, part-time assistantships or other sources of limited income, but full-time employment while on sabbatical leave is not permitted unless specifically authorized by the President.”
