Scope of this Article. This article addresses three categories of “Professional Enrichment” that enable bargaining unit members to advance their educational qualifications in pursuit of a higher salary grade, to fulfill workload requirements for maintaining currency in their academic disciplines and updating occupationally relevant skills vital to CSN’s educational mission, and to enrich their professional effectiveness through sustained engagement in planned projects of personal interest that also benefit CSN. CSN agrees to support bargaining unit members’ participation in Salary Advancement, Professional Development, and Sabbatical Leave by funding and/or administering these programs under the terms of this Article. This Article’s language shall not be construed as limiting or obstructing any new or additional opportunities for bargaining members’ professional enrichment which may be created during the time period covered by this Agreement.
