CM-3 Expenses for Invited Visitors

February 20, 1973

It is the policy of the LSU Health Sciences Center to pay the basic expenses of visitors invited to the medical center for the purposes of: 

 

  1. Position interviews 

  2. Making contributions to the teaching, research or service functions of the Schools of the Health Sciences Center. 

It is inherent in this policy that these visits become valuable public relations assets.

When such visitors are invited, it should be accomplished in writing, countersigned by the appropriate Dean.

A copy of the invitation should accompany a travel voucher, submitted to the Office of the Comptroller two weeks prior to the visit. By this method, a check will be available for the visitor upon arrival. The voucher need not be signed by the visitor.

Maximum expenses to be paid through a University-controlled account are: 

 

  1. Living expenses @ $30/diem. 

  2. A lump sum of $20.00 for tips & taxis. 

  3. Air-fare abound trip economy jet rates. 

  4. Honorarium (for lecturers, consultants, etc., but not for those being interviewed for a position). If in excess of $50.00/diem, this requires approval from this Office.
