       A.   Moving expenses are paid upon relocation of career employees
            (not new employees) to facilitate the transfer or promotion of
            employees and to encourage them to seek positions on other
            campuses:
  
            1.   Moving expenses shall be paid by the University when a
                 career employee moves from one campus to another at the
                 request of the hiring department head.
            
            2.   Moving expenses shall be paid, subject only to
                 availability of funds, when a career employee moves from
                 one location to another to accept a promotion which the
                 employee has initiated.
            
            3.   Moving expenses shall not be paid if an employee requests
                 a lateral transfer or demotion for personal reasons.
  
       B.   The Chancellor or his designee is responsible for approving use
            of departmental funds for moving expenses for an employee who
            transfers to a department under his jurisdiction. The following
            expenses shall be paid only in the amount and manner authorized
            by University travel regulations (see Policy 5170).
  
            1.   Actual and necessary expenses incurred for packing,
                 insurance, transportation, storage in transit (not to
                 exceed 30 calendar days), unpacking and installation of
                 the employee's household effects, at the new location,
                 when properly supported by invoices and receipts.
            
            2.   Actual travel expenses for the employee and his immediate
                 family, but not to exceed the cost of air coach
                 transportation. The cost of meals en route for the
                 employee and his immediate family, not to exceed the
                 University allowance for individual meals, may be included
                 in the actual travel expense. (See Policy 5170 for
                 amounts.)
