We recognize the need for faculty and staff to travel for conferences, events and other legitimate purposes to enhance programming, research, and/or outreach endeavors.
At the same time, as a state agency, we must safeguard our travel privileges and funds. We must practice fiscal, ethical and public responsibility. Therefore, we have established per diem guidelines when using SFA funding. This policy sets forth rules and procedures that balance the school’s legitimate travel needs with sound stewardship of public resources.
