Therefore, participants would like to see more accountability within departments. There is a strong desire to see more authorizations made within the departments and clear, consistent approval queues. Develop an information sheet. Participants would like to have clear accessible rules published on the web. Create one page travel site with links, rules, etc.
Staff is frustrated by a lack of updated information on changes in rules.
They would like to see these in advance, rather than trial and error to learn about changes. It would be preferable to have changes e-mailed to key personnel who process travel. It would be preferable to make policy and rule changes by August 1 of each year. There is the whole issue of the travel agencies. Many staff and faculty would like to have more flexibility beyond the three agencies.
