Faculty Development Travel

• The Provost's signature is required for all out-of-state travel and when Faculty Development funding is requested.
   
• Faculty Development Travel Funds, provided through the Office of Academic Affairs, are available to all full-time faculty members who present a paper or poster at a conference, actively participate in a workshop, or hold an office in an organization sponsoring a conference.
   
• Faculty Development monies are provided at the discretion of the Provost after college and/or department funding has been exhausted.  Supporting documentation is required, as indicated on the Travel Request Authorization form.
   
• Effective July 1, 2008 for the 2008-2009 fiscal year, Faculty Development Travel funds will provide per full-time faculty member: 

  $500 for Domestic Trips
  $700 for Non-Contiguous US and International Trips
  Maximum Yearly Allowance of $1200

  The University of Southern Indiana’s mileage rate increases to $0.44 per mile when a traveler uses his/her personally owned vehicle for business travel.
  
  In addition to claiming mileage to a distant location, a traveler may be reimbursed a maximum of two days’ Per Diem allowance (a day each side of the business dates as determined by the best flight itinerary), two nights’ lodging (a night each side of the business dates as determined by the best flight itinerary), tolls and parking.  However, the total reimbursement for the mileage and the additional expenses may not be greater than the sum of the cost of the best flight itinerary (available 30 days prior to departure), the cost of airport parking and the cost of ground transportation.
  
  If a traveler chooses to drive and not fly, and this decision results in additional days while in travel status, then the additional days are considered personal vacation time and are to be recorded as such.  The traveler is still eligible for lodging costs and Per Diem allowance in accordance with the previous paragraph.
   

• Part-time faculty are eligible for a maximum annual award of $500 to support professional development travel.  These funds are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.  In order to qualify, part-time faculty must follow the same guidelines as those for the full-time faculty as mentioned above.
   
• Travel regulations are to be reviewed prior to traveling, especially International travel policies and procedures for
  Study Abroad involving student programs/groups.
