John Carroll University / Academics / Faculty and Staff Resources / Travel Policies and Support

Funding Restrictions and Priorities

These travel categories are listed in order of funding priority. The Dean shall fund department budgets according to these priorities, to the maximum extent possible with available university funds. Deans and chairs will allocate these funds with the goal of maximizing the benefit to the John Carroll University faculty. Funding priorities are as follows:

  1. Faculty presenting original scholarly work at national, regional, or international meetings of professional societies at which the faculty member is listed on the program.
  2. Faculty serving as panel chairs or discussants at national, regional, or international meetings (listed as such on the program).
  3. Approved and necessary departmental business, including such things as licensure or accreditation.
  4. Activities related to administration and/or service in professional organizations, or service to the profession, at which the faculty member is listed as a committee member or office.
  5. As available, funds may be disbursed to faculty members attending conferences for professional development but who are not on the program. In this case, funds are disbursed to cover at least travel to and from the conference. Tenure track faculty will enjoy priority for this category of travel and may request full funding if this is their only travel request for the academic year.
