“College officers were given a copy of the form 990 to review in detail. The audit committee of the board of trustees reviewed the full 990 during an audit committee meeting. In order to respect the privacy of donors, the college provided all trustees with a public disclosure copy of the 990 but made a full copy of the return available to them upon request. Any questions, comments, and other concerns were addressed prior to the e-filing of the return with the internal revenue service.”

“Annually, the board of trustees and officers individually sign conflict of interest policies that are maintained in the official records of the college.

Employee officer compliance is monitored by the director of human resources. Any member with a conflict may participate in the discussion, but must abstain from voting on the matter related to his or her conflict.”
