travelnews: UO Travel Policy update

[BAO news for travel administrators]

Revisions to the UO Policy Library<https://policies.uoregon.edu/vol-4-finance-administration-infrastructure/ch-4-business-affairs/travel-policy> were enacted June 24, 2021.

Revisions include:

  2.  All UO business airfare must be purchased either through the traveler's assigned UO travel agency or the Concur online booking tool using the UO airfare credit card.
  3.  Meal/Incidental and Lodging per diems rates now follow GSA (General Services Administration) guidelines, and are based on traveler's business location.
  4.  Incidental definition is updated to mirror IRS guidelines allowing for reimbursement of taxi transportation to obtain a personal meal.
