Hi Shannon!
Hmm, here are two links from the University of New Mexico:
UAP 4030 ("Travel") - http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/4000/4030.html
UAP 4000 ("Allowable and Unallowable Expenditures") -
http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/4000/4000.html
Both have some language about prior approvals (still basically up to department
process), IRS accountable plan, and the need for "business purpose" and
documentation - perhaps some of that might be helpful. Good luck!

Subject: Restrictive Language for Travel Approval

Good afternoon,
Does anyone have more restrictive language for approval of travel in their
travel policy or procedures? I am looking for language to ensure that there is
not over use or abuse of travel or requests to general travel. Anything to add
limits would be helpful. Currently we have a very broad charge:
"Pre-approval is required for out-of-state travel. Required approvals may vary
according to the travel destination and sources of funds as determined by each
institution."
Any thoughts on ways to limit discretion that have not caused major issues on
your campus? Thanks so much.
