A brief description of the policies and/or programs:
The UMass Office of Information Technologies offers state of the art tele-conferencing services that are supported by the University and available to all learning and teaching uses. This technology cannot replace all institutional air travel but is promoted to faculty, staff, and researchers to optimize on campus resources that could act as an alternative to long distance air travel.
