Absolutely! >>> xxxxxx@NORTHWESTERN.EDU 2/24/03 4:05:58 PM >>> Hi Judy, I disagree that the university should get the benefits. 1.) travel was on a NIDA grant (not university funds) 2.) travelers were inconvenienced by the overbooking not institution nor agency making the award. If you have ever been inconvenienced by a situation for which $300 in vouchers were given you will understand that it is a totally personal experience and no employer or agency deserves the vouchers more than the person who travelled.
