“Conflict of interest policy the trustees of marymount manhattan college are elected to serve the college and are expected to carry out their duties in a manner that inspires and assures the confidence of the college and the broader community. All actions by trustees with respect to the college and its property must be taken solely on the basis of a desire to advance the best interests of the college. Trustees shall not use their positions as trustees, or knowledge gained therefrom, so that a conflict might arise between the interests of the college and the individual interests of the trustees. The college's trustees inevitably are involved in the affairs of other institutions and organizations. Trustees may from time to time have relationships and affiliations that may raise questions about perceived conflicts of interest. Although many such potential conflicts are and will be deemed inconsequential, each trustee has the responsibility to ensure that the entire board is made aware of situations that involve personal, familial or business relationships that could be potential conflicts. Thus, the board requires each trustee (a) confirm that he or she is familiar with this policy, (b) disclose to the board chair any possible personal, familial or business relationships that might give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest involving the college, and (c) agree to serve only in accordance with the letter and spirit of this policy. A form for this purpose is attached, and shall be completed by each trustee at least annually. A "business relationship" is one in which a trustee or a member of his or her family serves as an officer, director, employee, partner, trustee or controlling stockholder of an organization that does business with the college. A "family member" is a spouse, parent, sibling or child of a trustee, or any other relative living in the trustee's household. If a trustee is uncertain whether to disclose a particular relationship, the board chair should be consulted. The chair may elect to seek the judgment of the executive committee in determining whether a relationship gives rise to a conflict of interest or should otherwise be disclosed to the board. The chair and the executive committee shall keep any consultation confidential unless and until they determine that the best interests of the college require disclosure. A trustee who has a conflict of interest shall not participate in any consideration by the board of a matter relating to the conflict.”
