Travel

Faculty members are permitted time away from their academic assignments for scholarly and professional purposes, with prior approval, subject to the provisions of the University Policy on Travel-Related Expense Reimbursements and subject to provision by the faculty member of adequate substitutes for all regularly scheduled University activities during the absence. The department Chair must approve the provisions for substitutes.

Funds for faculty travel are allocated on a departmental basis with the following order of priorities: to officiate or serve in an official capacity or make a formal presentation at a professional conference or meeting; and to attend a professional conference or meeting pertaining to the academic interests of the faculty member. The University has the right to determine the merits of each travel request with respect to the general needs and interests of the University and its Schools.
