If a faculty member is traveling and needs to meet over lunch to discuss her/his research with a non-WPI colleague, would this be considered an appropriate business meal?
Unless the colleague happens to be a WPI employee who also is on official travel status for the University, working on the same award and, therefore, entitled to be reimbursed under the travel budget of that award, the meal would not normally be considered an appropriate business meal (i.e., only the meal of the faculty member would be allowable).
