The Trustees and Executive Senior Managers of the University are required to complete Conflict of Interest statements. The Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees (Board) ensures that the statements are completed on an annual basis. If any conflicts arise, the Audit Committee of the Board may either make a determination, or, if the Audit Committee believes it is appropriate, may refer the matter to the full Board for a vote to determine if a conflict exists. If a determination is made that no conflict exists, the interested trustee may participate fully in any discussions and vote on the proposed transaction or arrangement that is the subject of the conflict. If a determination is made that a conflict of interest exists, the interested trustee shall be required to leave any meeting prior to discussion of, or vote on, the transaction or arrangement. |

The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees oversees compensation of the President. All discussion about compensation are documented in the Board minutes. The University uses comparability data from peer institutions collected by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA HR), as well as conducts a review of internal equity among executives, in determining the compensation of all other officers and key employees. This data is used to ensure all salaries are within "fair market range" for the industry. |
