Office of Provost & Vice Chancellor Guidelines for Travel Support for Faculty and Academic Staff FY16

A. The Office of the Provost & Vice Chancellor (P/VC) will provide travel support to faculty and academic staff as outlined below:

1) For scholarly presentations: 30% of actual cost, not to exceed $400 per trip ($800 maximum/person/year). Support from the P/VC has traditionally been equal to the approved college support.

2) For panelists, critics, or session chairs: 20% of actual expense or $250, whichever is less.

3) For new faculty (only) to travel to attend an appropriate professional meeting: 20% of actual cost or $200, whichever is less (one trip only during faculty member’s first two years). If the new faculty member qualifies under items one or three above, that rule will apply.

4) Unpaid & unreimbursed association officer: 15% or $200, whichever is less.

5) Dean’s office only-other professional travel: Dean only 20% or $250 whichever is less, for “other professional travel”.

B. The P/VC’s office does not typically fund in-state meetings. Consideration may be given for regional/national meetings held in Wisconsin.

C. Travel support from the P/VC’s office for academic staff (all categories) will be determined on a case-by-case basis.* Requests will normally be considered only if the following conditions are met: 1) appointment is .50 FTE or greater and 2) appointment is probationary, indefinite or fixed-term - renewal notification. When limited resources are available, funds for travel will focus on faculty.

* To assist the Provost/Vice Chancellor in determining travel support for academic staff, justification must accompany the travel request to include information as follows: type of appointment (instructional vs. noninstructional), length of employment at UWSP, % FTE, plans for future employment, and whether individual received travel support from the Vice Chancellor’s office in the past.
