MU Provost to discontinue faculty leaves, awards amid budget cuts - JAY BURY, Missourian

The MU Provost’s Office no longer will fund the Chancellor’s Distinguished Visitors Program and Lecture Series, faculty development leaves, project awards and research leaves starting July 1, Interim Provost Jim Spain said in an email Tuesday. The Distinguished Visitors Program brings “prominent scholars” into the university to participate in academics, research and campus engagement. Research leaves provide faculty the opportunity to take a leave of absence from the university to conduct research in their fields of study. https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_education/mu-provost-to-discontinue-faculty-leaves-awards-amid-budget-cuts/article_07bcfd56-6e94-11e8-837d-af0f85014011.html
