FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: An increase to the Per Diem Rate for meals will increase overall travel related expenditures for the University; however, the adjustment will better align actual costs incurred for travel related expenses. The University is not requesting a proposed change to the current mileage rate of $0.41 per mile, as this is consistent with the Commonwealth's current reimbursement rate.
ATTACHMENTS: Faculty Senate Action Tracking Document and the FY 2019 Per Diem Rate Schedule.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Per Diem Rate Schedule effective July 1, 2018.
