“The first draft of the 990 will be reviewed by the Controller. A revised draft will then be submitted for review to the College's CFO. Once the above referenced individuals review and approve the draft 990, and any required changes are made, a final draft will be provided to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees, which has been delegated by the Board of Trustees, to review the Form 990. After review by the Audit Committee, a copy will be provided to the full Board of Trustees as well. The names and addresses of contributors are removed from Schedule B in the copy provided to the Audit Committee and Board of Trustees because the information is confidential.”

“The conflict of interest policy is circulated yearly in connection with the annual meeting. The Board of Trustees, Officers, and Key Employees are asked to review the policy and provide updated information, disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and sign the form. The Board Secretary monitors and keeps track of the disclosures made. Any conflicts of interest are reported to the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees, and are reflected in the minutes. If an issue that involves a conflict of interest were to arise at a board meeting, the interested person would abstain from voting.”

“Line 15a - Compensation Process for Top Official The process for determining compensation for the President includes a review by the compensation committee as well as the full board, use of comparability data, and documentation of the deliberation and decision in the committee minutes. 15b - Compensation Process for Officers Final approval of Other Officer/Key Employee salaries is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees upon recommendation of the Board's Compensation Committee. Salary recommendations are initially prepared by the President based on his/her assessment of performance. In addition, the President and Committee annually review compensation survey data collected by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) which reports higher education compensation levels on a national and regional basis. The deliberation and approval of the compensation is documented in the minutes of the Compensation Committee and the Board.”

“The King's College makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“Calendar Year Reporting of Compensation The compensation data reflected in Part VII is reported based on the calendar year 2015 whereas most of the information provided in the Form 990 is for the fiscal year (9/1/15 - 8/31/16).”

“Through its commitment to the truths of Christianity and a biblical worldview, The King's College seeks to transform society by preparing students for careers in which they help to shape and eventually lead strategic public and private institutions, and by supporting faculty members as they directly engage culture through writing and speaking publicly on critical issues. The King's College seeks to transform society as it educates students for the long-term goal of leading strategic public and private institutions by providing a foundation in classic social and political theory, Western history, economic analysis, philosophical inquiry, logic, abstract thought, theology, and the disciplines of writing and the spoken word. The College aims to equip students with life-long habits of mind, intellectual skills, and enduring motivations, rather than merely vocational skills or pre-professional training. We recognize the need to educate students as whole persons with the moral astuteness, intellectual insight, and personal discipline to become autonomous (literally, law-governed) adults. To that end, we aspire to a form of education that integrates classroom instruction, extra-curricular commitments, and service to the larger community. Even though our program is not in spirit vocational or pre-professional, we recognize that our graduates must be prepared to enter an economy and a society that already exists and cannot be made to order. To that end, we are committed to equipping students with a thorough understanding of the organization of contemporary society and the various professions that influence the "strategic institutions" (government, business, law, the media, civil society, education, the arts, and the church); to give them realistic maps of how careers in those fields typically advance; and to acquaint them with the proximate steps, whether through further education or entry-level positions, that will set them on a course towards longer-term success. The King's College serves students who seek a rigorous undergraduate education that is rooted in the Christian liberal arts tradition. The College is open to all students, regardless of their religious affiliations. The College is also committed to supporting faculty members as they provide a rigorous undergraduate education to students and also as they directly engage culture through writing and speaking publicly on critical issues.”
