However, Travel Inc.\u0027s fares reflect contracted rates that include important protections, such as refund and exchange options, duty-of-care coverage, and compliance reporting \u2014 protections that are often not included in those lower fares. Basic economy fares, which are often nonrefundable and nontransferable, are excluded from comparison because they don\u2019t offer the flexibility or safeguards required for Institute travel. Georgia Tech\u2019s arrangement with Travel Inc. also allows the Institute to match or beat comparable fares when presented with identical flight details. If a traveler finds a comparable flight with a lower fare, all they need to do is talk to a Travel Inc. agent. We also heard concerns about fare visibility in Concur.

Previously, the Institute operated two child care centers: the Children\u2019s Campus (TCC), situated in Family Housing at 10th and Home, and the R.

Furthermore, while the centers are primarily intended to serve Georgia Tech employees and students, the percentage of campus families using these facilities dropped to less than 50% since the pandemic. One contributing factor to this decline in enrollment is the shift to hybrid work schedules, prompting employees to seek child care options closer to where they live.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELower enrollment led to increased operational costs and inefficiencies; as a result, a consolidation of operations to enhance effectiveness was needed.
