CHANCELLORS
LABORATORY DIRECTORS

Dear Colleagues:

The enclosed Policy Governing Travel to Scholarly Meetings and Field Research Travel is effective immediately. This Policy supersedes the policy issued October 24, 1980.

The revised policy clarifies that campuses are no longer prohibited from using departmental funds to supplement grants for faculty travel to scholarly meetings to present and discuss research results. In addition, campuses are provided, in cases of limited funding, more flexibility to determine which travel expenses should be reimbursed.

Sincerely,



Richard C. Atkinson
President
