2. The recipients of faculty travel grants and awards are nominated by the Committee on Faculty Development, and the awards are approved by the Provost and administered by the Provost's Office.
3. All grants and awards will be made on the basis of the merit of the proposal, without regard to quotas of distribution among departments or disciplines.
