Faculty Recruitment Paid by the Dean

Faculty Recruitment Meals & Expenses    

• Meal expenses may not exceed $50 per person (must provide attendance list and must have an outside guest - candidate).  An SPA is generated by the department for this expense and sent to the Fiscal Affairs Office for account information and encumbrance.
• Expenses for spouses of a faculty member being reimbursed for a meal expense with a Candidate (except for the Candidate's spouse) are not reimbursed. 
• The first interview visit of a Candidate allows for reimbursement of travel, lodging, meals, etc.

      Faculty Candidate Travel Expenses

• Second and/or Third visit allows for travel reimbursement for Candidate and family members for relocation search.
• A Travel Authorization and Expense Report (TAER) form must be completed by the department prior to the Candidates visit and forwarded to Fiscal Affairs, 1230 Scott Hall for approval.  The Fiscal Affairs Office will indicate the Dean’s account number to be charged and will encumber those funds for the Dean’s Office (please note:  if the department is responsible for a portion of the expenses, the form must be encumbered by the department prior to submitting to the Fiscal Affairs Office).  Once the form is approved and all funds are committed, the Fiscal Affairs Office will return the TAER back to the department until the actual expenses occurs. Once the actual expenses are recorded on the TAER with original receipts (where applicable), the department will forward the TAER back to Fiscal Affairs for final approval.
