University Bylaws and Statutes require that any conflict of interest of any Trustee, Officer or their immediate families be disclosed to the University in writing. An Officer shall call any conflict of interest to the attention of the President (unless the conflict is on the part of the President, in which case it shall be called to the attention of the Vice President and General Counsel and the Chair of the Board of Trustees). If the matter is being considered by the Board of Trustees or one of its committees, such Officer is not permitted to participate in or make recommendations about the conflict of interest under discussion, except to the extent the Officer is required by the Trustees of other officers to answer pertinent questions related to the conflict. A Trustee having a conflict of interest shall call it to the attention of the Board or committee and shall abstain on voting on the subject. The Trustee is encouraged to answer pertinent questions when his/her knowledge of the subject will assist the Board or any of its committees. In addition, Trustees are subject to a Conflict of Interest Policy, which has been adopted by the Board of Trustees. Potential conflicts of interest are further scrutinized under a University investment policy governing Trustee Relationship Investments whereby, among other things, affected trustees must recuse themselves from any discussion and vote related to the investment. Pursuant to the University's staff and faculty Conflict of Interest Policies, employees are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the University on an annual basis. Employees receive annual reminders to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire and responses are submitted electronically and reviewed by each employee's supervisor. Potential conflicts are further reviewed by the University's Department of Human Resources and action taken by senior management as needed. |

The Compensation Committee of the Board includes members of the University's governing body who are not related or controlled by the employees whose compensation they are reviewing.

The Compensation Committee of the Board meets every June for the purpose of reviewing and approving executive compensation recommendations for the next fiscal year. After review and the approval, the Committee's decisions are documented with internal communications to executive leadership except that the President's compensation is communicated solely to the Vice President & General Counsel. The offices of the President, Provost and Senior Vice President separately then send the final compensation decisions to the payroll department and the Vice President of Human Resources for implementation and processing other than the compensation information of the President, which is provided by the Vice President & General Counsel to the Vice President of Human Resources. |
