Policy Statement
- As a general rule, no honorarium will be paid for service to The Commission on Colleges and Universities. Any exception to this rule must be authorized in advance and made in writing.
- The Commission will reimburse for actual expenses (for registration, travel, lodging, and meals) incurred by members of its Board of Trustees and Committees on Compliance and Reports for attendance at all scheduled meetings of the Board for the period of time required for the work of the Commission. During the annual and summer meetings, The Commission will use a master account to assume directly the room and tax expenses incurred by Board members and special readers.
- As a general rule, persons covered by this policy are encouraged to travel by airline. If circumstances dictate that travel by automobile is preferable, expenses should not exceed those normally incurred when traveling by airline. The Commission will not reimburse for expenses incurred for renting a car without prior approval. In instances when The Commission has provided transportation to and from an airport and the Board member rents a car, The Commission will not pay for the expenses of the rental car.
- The Commission will reimburse for actual expenses incurred by members of standing committees, ad hoc study committees, participants in special programs of the Commission, and all The Commission peer review committees.
- All reimbursements will be made in accordance with conditions of The Commission Reimbursement Policy, as described on the reverse side of the Expense Voucher.
