ENTERTAINMENT OF STUDENTS
(REVISED December 2007)
To foster interaction with students in an informal setting, faculty and staff are encouraged to invite students to their homes or take them out for a meal in a restaurant. Principia provides reimbursement for this type of activity year-round (breaks, as well as academic terms) through Dining Services. Please understand that this practice is intended to cover full meals and not snacks or desserts.
In order to receive reimbursement for social meals with students, please follow this process:
1. Please use the tax exempt cards when buying meals for students. We will not be able to reimburse the tax part of the receipt. If the organization will not accept the tax exempt card, please make note of it when turning in your paperwork.
2. When eating at restaurants, please try to keep student meals on a separate receipt from yours when possible. We only reimburse for the students’ food.
3. Give Alison Rea in an I/O envelope or in person your receipts, a list of the students whom you hosted, and any other important information that will enable us to reimburse you as soon as possible. Please include first and last names of the students.
*Please note that reimbursements cannot be given without receipts.
4. Reimbursements should be turned in within the month of the activity.
5. When entertaining students, reimbursement up to the following amounts will be given:
Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Home Cooked Meal $3.00 $4.00 $6.50
Restaurant Meal $4.00 $6.50 $9.00
If requesting funds through Dining Services, please keep in mind this funding is meant for social purposes, to help students get acquainted with faculty/staff and other students in a more casual setting. This service is not intended to fund normal department, class, program, team, house or house board activities, whether they occur during or at the end of the quarter or the year. Support for these activities should come from departmental or house funds.
