Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Probably driven by the

since when do insurance carriers make "reasonable" policies wrt
flying?


They are basically saying that the University is not to have its
employees
traveling by air in a manner that has a vastly greater fatal accident
rate
(more than 10x) than commercial flying.


Given that the University will allow travel by car or train, both
of which also have a vastly greater fatal accident rate than
commercial flying, my question remains open.


Trains and cars are still over 10x safer than GA aircraft flown by
non-professional pilots.
