The University of Calgary has begun publicly posting all hospitality and travel expenses for its board and executive team online.

The university made the announcement on Tuesday.

"In addition to publicly disclosing these expenses, the university has implemented a more rigorous internal process for approving executive and board expenses, designated a compliance officer, implemented multiple levels of oversight and engaged the internal audit unit to bring even more rigor to the expense approval process," a release said.

The changes follow a series of stories earlier this year about former board chair Doug Black. The Alberta Conservative senator-in-waiting claimed $28,000 in expenses in an 18-month period, including first-class flights and luxury hotels, according to documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Black claimed several first-class flights to Toronto, Vancouver and other cities. He also claimed nearly $1,300 for a two-night stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston and the same amount for two nights at Toronto’s Ritz Carleton.

Black stepped down in October, stating in a letter that he has paid back all expenses he incurred while serving as board chair and learned a valuable lesson.
