sepatutnya ia boleh ditamatkan.
Penyambungan tertakluk kepada kecemerlangan
progres/hasilan dan kewujudan dana.

106.  Pensyarah yang bercuti belajar tidak dibenarkan
menjadi Ketua Penyelidik. Namun, beliau boleh
menjadi ahli dalam kumpulan penyelidikan.
 Ketua Penyelidik yang berpindah universiti hendaklah
melepaskan kedudukan sebagai ketua. Namun,
beliau boleh kekal sebagai ahli dalam kumpulan
penyelidikan berkenaan.
