3. The University will pay public carrier transportation costs only, or the
 equivalent, for travel which, on the other hand, benefits mainly the faculty
 member and the University only incidentally. For example, it will pay such
 costs only for attendance at meetings of recognized technical, professional,
 or scholarly groups.
 Necessary expenses for travel, including subsistence, are paid on a per diem
 basis. The schedule of approved per diem allowances may be obtained from deans,
 directors, or heads of departments. Frequency of trips for individual faculty mem-
 bers is determined by the amount of funds available, and, in general, not more than
 one trip a year per faculty member is allowed at university expense. The practice
 of several members of the faculty pooling expenses and traveling by automobile is
 advisable whenever it enables more individuals to attend a meeting than would be
 possible otherwise. In such cases, if funds permit, mileage may be paid for the
 car. If, however, funds available are not sufficient to pay mileage, a lesser amount
 may be paid.
 Members of the staff working on projects financed by the federal government
must, when they ask permission to travel on funds supplied by contract for such
projects, clearly indicate in their request that the trip contemplated is requested
by the government agency concerned.
 No formal report on trips taken by staff members is required by the President's
office.
 Continuing and frequently recurring travel in the interest of an organized re-
search program or of an extension service, and for which special funds are provided
in various budgets, must have the approval of the appropriate dean or director, in
accord with the general policy on travel. Reports on the progress and activities of
such programs, including the travel necessitated by them, are submitted annually
to the President's office.
 Expenses incurred for trips made by classes for instructional purposes must be
paid from the necessary and regular budget of the department or other instructional
unit directly concerned. Large groups of this kind should be transported by bus,
whenever possible.
 Travel undertaken on private business by a member of the staff at no expense
to the University, and that entails no loss of time from the performance of university
duties by the staff member, does not fall within the scope of university policy on
travel.
 Teaching Loads. Consideration of teaching loads must take into account the
diverse activities required of faculty members and the manifold responsibilities
they are called upon to accept. It is the purpose of the University to distribute
the total burden of teaching and other work as equitably as possible. There are
many items that must figure in the equitable distribution of the work that has to be
done. First and most obvious among these is the number of hours spent in class-
rooms and laboratories, in conducting extension classes and correspondence courses.
Second, the number of students enrolled under each instructor must be taken into
account. Also, the time spent in conferences and in directing the work of individual
students, in preparation for classes, in planning and organizing new courses, in
study and research for professional improvement, and the demands made by adminis-
trative tasks such as serving on committees, attending routine staff and faculty
meetings, carrying on official correspondence, making reports, and keeping records;
all must be given due weight.
 The University's policy on teaching loads is predicated on the assumption that
