THE SYSTEM HAS A WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WITH WHICH ALL AFFILIATES REGULARLY MONITOR AND ENFORCE COMPLIANCE. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY GOVERNS CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE AND MONITORING OF ALL VOTING MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN EVALUATING ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTS OR TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BENEFIT THE PRIVATE INTEREST OF A TRUSTEE, THEIR FAMILY MEMBER(S), A MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE OR SUBCOMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS OF THE UNIVERSITY, OR SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE POLICY IS INTENDED TO SUPPLEMENT BUT NOT REPLACE APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS GOVERNING NONPROFIT CHARITABLE CORPORATIONS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, EACH VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST COMPLETE, AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROCESS INCLUDES DISTRIBUTION OF AN ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURE TO ALL PERSONS WHO SERVED AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND KEY EMPLOYEES DURING THE PREVIOUS FISCAL YEAR. THE DISCLOSURE FORM ELICITS INFORMATION RELATED TO THE RESPONDENT'S ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY ENGAGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD.

IN ADDITION TO ATTESTING TO THE VERACITY OF INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE DISCLOSURE, THE VOTING MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MUST CERTIFY THAT THEY WILL ABIDE BY THE SYSTEM'S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES AND WILL DISCLOSE ALL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEIR ONGOING SERVICE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS ALL ORIGINAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RECORD RETENTION POLICY. THE SYSTEM ALSO COMPILES AND ISSUES A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES REPORTED DURING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE PROCESS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THEREAFTER, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ITSELF OR THROUGH DELEGATION TO THE FINANCE, ASSURANCE & COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, EVALUATES ALL ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO DETERMINE WHETHER ACTIVITIES OR ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE MANAGEMENT, REDUCTION, OR ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN INTERESTS, ACTIVITIES OR RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN MANAGEMENT OF THE IDENTIFIED CONFLICT IS REQUIRED, THE AFFECTED PERSON(S), MEMBERS OF THE BOARD'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, AND CERTAIN MEMBERS OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT, RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE MANAGEMENT PLAN. AFFECTED PERSONS ARE EXPECTED TO ABIDE BY THE TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO, RECUSAL FROM DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING WHEN APPROPRIATE. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE-OUTLINED INTERNAL REPORTING AND EVALUATION OF ACTIVITIES, TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS, ALL REQUIRED DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S REGULATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE REPORTED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL FORM 990. |
