Ithaca College

As part of our overall process of conserving the College's financial resources during these uncertain economic times, we are going to be reviewing a number of our policies and procedures for opportunities to be more efficient and effective with existing funds. As mentioned in November 2008, we have convened a Policy Advising Committee to assist in these reviews.

This committee will closely examine existing policies and make recommendations to President's Council in the form of revised policy and guideline statements. Once approved, these policies will be reissued to members of the campus community. We will also be increasing the frequency of departmental audits for compliance with our policies.

Review of the travel policy has been completed by this committee and approved by President's Council. The updated travel policy may be found on the College's Travel Services website:

Ithaca College Travel Policy

I would ask that everyone take the time to become familiar with this policy and share this information with other staff and faculty within their department(s). If you have questions on the revised policy, please contact me at 274-3118, or Travel Services at 274-1480.

I would also like to personally thank the members that serve on this committee for their time and valuable input as we continue to work towards enhancing a number of other College policies. Stay tuned for revisions to the College's purchasing card policy.
