“The secretary to the board/general counsel annually compiles, maintains, and screens a list of potentially conflicted entities and individuals, including board members and key employees for possible conflicts of interest. The college takes appropriate disciplinary and corrective action if a person who is covered by the conflict of interest policy fails to disclose an acutal or possible conflict of interest. No person votes on any matter under consideration at a board or committee meeting in which such person has a conflict of interest. The minutes of such meeting will reflect that a disclosure was made and that the person having a conflict abstained from voting.”

“The executive committee of the board of trustees conducts an annual review of the president, which includes an evaluation of the president's compensation. Consideration is given to compensation levels provided to presidents at peer institutions. During the 2015 fiscal year, the college introduced a compensation program which classified each position into a pay grade and compared each pay grade to peer institutions. A benchmark has been established to assess each employee's compensation in future periods.”

“All relevant documents, including the conflict of interest policy are made available upon request.”
