I listened to the panel discussion while I crocheted. The topic of conversation was sabbaticals for teaching/non-tenured faculty

The panel shared their experiences and work-arounds & sheer persistence

They also shared stories of burnout and signs of departments built for efficiency instead of resilience. Teaching faculty are load-bearing supports! Remove them for a semester, and if they haven't been sufficiently supported and reinforced, things break
