KUDOS: May 2024

Sending on behalf of Don Neubaum...

I would like to alert faculty and staff considering university-supported travel to China. Three faculty members' travel authorizations to China have been recently denied, so for the time being, the FAU's Global Travel Safety and Security Committee is not approving these requests.

As a general reminder to all faculty and staff:

1. All university-related travel is required to comply with University Policy 1.19 Global Travel Safety and Security along with all established expense/travel guidelines
2. All travelers engaging in university-related travel must register their travel with the Global Travel Safety and Security Subcommittee
   travel registry regardless of U.S. State Department designation. Latest advisories/designations can be found here 👉Travel Advisories.
3. Countries which are rated 3 (Reconsider travel) or 4 (Do No Travel) by the U.S. State Department require approval by the FAU GTSSC Committee and FAU Administration.
4. When considering university-supported travel, please register your travel and gain approval before paying for airlines or conference fees. Faculty may not be reimbursed for prior expenses associated with denied spending authorizations/travel registries.
