  • 1.  Faculty travel restrictions at your institution

    Posted 06-25-2025 11:08:00 AM

    In a recent conversation among CFAS Administrative Board members and AAMC President and CEO David Skorton, the topic of travel restrictions came up. Some members of the CFAS Ad Board, along with other faculty in CFAS, have expressed concern that their schools have enacted restrictions on travel along with funding limits and even funding freezes. Generally, there is concern that faculty will have more challenges related to meeting and conference travel in the current financial climate. Has your institution initiated travel restrictions? If so, what are they?

    How timely- My colleague and I are in the process of collecting data on a study examining this construct.

    we have posted about it in the AAMC GFA and GEA threads. 

    Happy to share results once analyzed.

    Feel free to inbox me :0)

    Yes, at OHSU the department chair has to approve all travel.
