140 INCREASE IN PER DIEM (Board of Trustees meeting, June 17-18, 1979) The Board unanimously agreed to adopt the following proposal, dated April 6, 1979, presented by Dr. Paul Leary. ) as ta Memorandum - Dr. Richards April 6, 1979 a 42 Mr. Kirwan and I have arrived at a proposed ceiling figure of $475.00 of allowable expenses. A differential should be maintained for faculty invited to present scholarly papers. In this case, the ceiling would be $575.00 (approximately the present differential in such cases).

Receipts must be presented in support of authorized expenditures -- travel (tourist class), ground transportation, meals, conference fees, and hotel costs. Before any final decision is announced, input should be received from the faculty. (I have already asked the Division heads to solicit faculty response, and for Dr. Fagan to confer with the Salary Committee. I will also discuss this proposal with the Faculty Development Committee, and possibly include it in our recommendations to the faculty.) While the final decision is that of the President, it is good practice to allow for such consultation. If you approve of these recommendations, a decision should be announced as soon as feasible, with the July 1, 1979 effective date, and with both rates for authorized travel and the faculty professional trip included together. cc: M. Kirwan
