- Professional Meetings
-
The University recognizes the value of faculty participation in the work of
leading professional organizations and learned societies. It is the
responsibility of the academic departments to monitor a faculty member's
arrangements for scheduling of classes to be missed and dealing with other
conditions created by the absence of a faculty member to participate in a
professional meeting.
Faculty should normally submit their anticipated travel requests at the
beginning of the academic year in order that the funds available for travel may
be allocated in a planned manner. With regard to attending meetings of
professional organizations and learned societies, the following should be
considered as the priority order of justification for such travel: 1)
presentation of an original paper; 2) functioning as an officer of the
organization or society; 3) serving as chair of a panel, discussion group, or
divisional activity; and 4) attendance as a member and as the sole
representative of the University.
Faculty members attending professional meetings are encouraged to inform the
Office of Marketing and Communication in order that appropriate publicity may be
prepared.
