BRADDOCK EARNS REAGAN LEAVE AWARD FOR SPRING 2024

MARTIN – Dr. Matthew Braddock, professor of philosophy at the University of Tennessee at

Martin, has been chosen to receive the 2023-24 Hal and Alma Reagan Faculty Leave. Braddock

will take his leave during the Spring 2024 semester and will be researching medical ethics.

The Hal and Alma Reagan Faculty Leave Program is a faculty development program that is

designed to enable participants to become more effective teachers and scholars by engaging in a

variety of academic/renewal experiences.

Tenured faculty members with six or more years of full-time service at UT Martin are

encouraged to apply for a one-year Reagan Faculty Leave at one-half salary or a half-year

Reagan Faculty Leave at full salary.

The Faculty Research and Development Committee reviews the applications and determines

awardees. The work of the committee and oversight of the Faculty Research and Development

Committee is coordinated through the Office of Research, Outreach and Economic

Development. Applications are reviewed by the UT Martin Faculty Research and Development

Committee, which is comprised of faculty members from UT Martin’s five colleges.

The first Reagan Leave awards were given for the 1989-90 school year. The most recent

recipient was Dr. John Schommer, a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics,

who took his leave in the Fall 2021 semester to research math history.
