“Sju has a business conduct and conflict of interest policy ('policy'), as amended from time to time, which sets forth sju's policies and procedures regarding managing, reducing or eliminating conflicts of interest as defined in the policy. The policy applies to board members and all employees, including officers, faculty and key employees ('covered persons'). Covered persons annually receive a copy of the policy and a conflict of interest disclosure statement ('statement') for completion incuding, in particular, disclosure of financial interests or other reportable circumstances or relationships, including the covered person's related parties, as described in the policy. The statement of trustees and the president shall be directed to the chairperson of the finance & audit committee and reviewed and maintained by the office of general counsel, which shall provide a summary of the disclosed conflicts of interest to the finance & audit committee with general counsel's recommendations, if any, and such summary and recommendations, along with the committee's comments, shall be provided by the chairperson of the finance & audit committee, on behalf of the committee, to the chairperson of the board for presentation to the executive committee of the board, and the full board as appropriate. The statement of all other officers, faculty, key employees and employees shall be directed to, then reviewed and maintained by the general counsel, with a summary of all disclosed conflicts of interest provided to the chairperson of the finance & audit committee, the president and to the chairperson of the board for presentation, as appropriate, to either the executive committee of the board, or to the full board. Copies of the statements of the trustees shall be maintained by the office of the general counsel as part of the university's corporate books and records. A copy of the statements of officers, faculty, key employees and employees shall also be maintained in the university files and made available for review by general counsel and the finance & audit committee, with follow-up as needed. Information disclosed by covered persons shall be held in confidence and only available to those officers of the university with a business need to know such information, and when the best interest of the university would be served, and shall be disclosed to and/or available to the board of trustees, upon request or when deemed required or appropriate by the president, chair of the finance & audit committee or treasurer/svp for finance and administrative services, in consultation with the general counsel. The policy contains a continuing affirmative obligation to disclose financial interests or other reportable circumstances or relationships, which may rise to the level of an actual or apparent conflict and provides procedures for the board or relevant board committee to manage, reduce or eliminate the conflict of interest. Discussions and proceedings where a conflict is disclosed are documented in the minutes for the board or affected board committee.”

“President: only independent members of the executive committee of the board who have no personal interest in any executive compensation arrangement with the university, annually review and approve, based on a review of appropriate comparability data, the compensation that is paid to the president (who also serves as an ex officio member of the executive committee, but is recused for this review and approval). Officers and provost: the president, based on a review of appropriate comparability data, decides the compensation to be paid to the provost and vice president for academic affairs, treasurer (and vice president for finance and administration), and general counsel, which decisions regarding compensation and material terms of employment are reviewed and approved by the executive committee. The executive committee documents the basis for its determinations regarding the compensation of the president and its review and approval of the president's decisions regarding the compensation of the officers and provost. Senior leaders: the president, based on a review of relevant comparability compensation data, decides the compensation to be paid to all other senior leaders, which decisions regarding compensation and material terms of employment are reviewed by the executive committee.”

“The by-laws are available to all trustees at any time and from the university upon request when deemed appropriate by the board of trustees, in consultation with the general counsel, and in response to legal process. Other institutional policies (e.g., whistleblower policy, policy prohibiting bias, discrimination, harrasment and sexual misconduct) are either posted on the sju internet website or on the internal websites. Requests for financial information will be evaluated on an individual basis and information will be provided as appropriate or as required by legal process. The university provides all documents to the public to the extent required by law.”

“Effective june 1, 2022, the university of the sciences merged with and into saint joseph's university. The university assumed responsibility for the university of the sciences' assets and liabilities.”

“Driven by an intentional growth strategy, on june 1, 2022 saint joseph's university completed a historic merger with the university of the sciences, acquiring dozens of academic programs in health and science. With the acquisition of additional academic programs, saint joseph's now offers hundreds of programs to undergraduate, graduate and adult learners, from doctoral programs to stackable credentials. At the core of a saint joseph's education is the college of arts and sciences. As home to the university's general education program, the college of arts and sciences empowers students to develop critical thinking, creativity, clear communication skills and ethical reasoning, regardless of their major. This is the heart of the jesuit, catholic educational model. In addition to this strong foundation in the liberal arts, the college offers specialized programs in the arts and social and natural sciences, leading to careers in law, medicine, computer science and more. The aacsb-accredited erivan k. Haub school of business offers programs at the intersection of business and pharmaceuticals. These health care-oriented business programs join other noteworthy saint joseph's programs including food marketing, family business, real estate, and insurance and risk management. The school of education and human development is home to saint joseph's strong legacy of educator preparation and the renowned kinney center for autism education and support, and it provides unique potential for new academic programs, seen most recently with the addition of offerings in mental health and addiction counseling. The school of health professions (shp) houses the newly acquired, accredited programs in physical therapy, physician assistant, occupational therapy and pharmacy. The philadelphia college of pharmacy (pcp) will continue building on 200 years of legacy within the shp. Saint joseph's enrolled approximately 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, making it among the largest institutions in the philadelphia region and among the top three largest private universities in the region. More than 400 full-time faculty serve as hands-on scholar-mentors, empowering students to explore more of themselves and the world around them.”
