1500.515 INTERVIEW EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT
Interview expenses will only be paid for applicants who are among the finalists for full-time faculty positions or for administrative openings in supervisory positions.
All eligible candidates will have been selected for an interview as a result of the college’s selection procedure for an advertised position.
The established reimbursement schedule, while it fits within the established guidelines of RCW 43.03.130, does not reimburse candidates for 100% of the allowable costs incurred as a part of the interview process. The reimbursement amounts are differentiated between candidates coming from out-of-state and from in-state locations.
The only position that will receive 100% reimbursement is the position of college president.
The following is the reimbursement schedule:
| Position | Out-of-State | In-State |
| President | 100% | 100% |
| Vice-President | $650 | Mileage |
| Faculty & Deans | $500 | Mileage |
| Other supervisory exempt | $350 | Mileage |
Mileage will only be paid to in-state candidates that travel to the campus for the
interview from more than 50 miles one way.
