1. the expense is incurred as part of ordinary and necessary University business,
2. the expenditure is not lavish or extravagant, and
3. substantial business discussion occurs during, directly before, or directly after the meal or event. Both the meal or event and the request for reimbursement or payment must satisfy Internal Revenue Service requirements.
