- PURPOSETo provide a policy statement regarding reimbursement of travel expenses for visiting faculty during Summer and Winter Sessions.
- POLICYVisiting faculty members, including distinguished foreign scholars, who live more than one hundred miles from Newark and who are invited to teach at the University of Delaware during Summer Session or Winter Session may be reimbursed for one round trip from their homes to the Newark campus. The reimbursement will not exceed the cost of a single round trip economy fare, plus reasonable ground transportation, if by rail or air, or the standard mileage rate if by automobile. This travel expense reimbursement is not intended for regular University of Delaware faculty. Before a department may commit funding to a visiting faculty member under this policy, approval must be obtained from the Office of Special Sessions, which shall, in determining how to allocate limited funds, weigh the potential contribution to the University of each proposed visitor, including the uniqueness of his or her contributions, and the number of students likely to be served.
