the specific activities listed in the original sabbatical proposal. He/she is
required to present a report in an appropriate forum.

The employee must be able to show proof of successful attainment of his
sabbatical leave plan/objectives such as a published paper/book, etc. Failure
to achieve the set plan/objectives of the sabbatical leave will result to payback
