Stevens' Board of Trustees delegated to a prominent investment bank the management of Stevens' endowment pursuant to contracts which address the scope of the delegation of authority, monitoring by Stevens' management and the Board, and reporting, among other matters.

The Form 990 was then presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for review and approval.

“The University's conflict of interest policy requires ongoing compliance and self-reporting of conflicts. It also provides for completion of an annual disclosure form by all Trustees, officers and faculty. Each disclosure form is reviewed by the Office of Audit, Risk and Compliance, and disclosure forms for trustees and officers are reviewed by the Office of General Counsel; all conflicts of interest are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board and to the Board of Trustees. Information disclosed in the disclosure forms which indicates the presence of a conflict is investigated, discussed with relevant personnel and, if necessary, the conflict is eliminated or managed pursuant to a conflict management plan or device supervised by the Chair of the Board of Trustees or the Chair of the Audit Committee, with advice from the Office of Audit, Risk and Compliance and the General Counsel. In addition, conflicts are identified by the officers of the Institution and staff at other levels of the Institution as they arise from time to time and are referred to the Office of Audit, Risk and Compliance and the General Counsel for further analysis and resolution. Certain conflicts relating to research activities may be managed by the Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs, with advice from the Office of Audit, Risk and Compliance and the General Counsel.”
