“The Board of Trustees delegated the task of reviewing Form 990 to the Audit Committee, pursuant to the College's by-laws and approved via a vote of the entire board. An electronic draft copy of the Form 990 was provided to the audit committee for review in advance of its meeting on February 26, 2026. Following the review with the outside accounting firm and receiving the audit committee's approval of the Form 990, the College distributed the Form 990 to the full Board of Trustees prior to filing.”

“All officers, trustees, directors, and key employees are required to disclose at least annually, and within thirty days after a material change, any relationships, positions, or circumstances that they believe could contribute to a conflict of interest, via a disclosure form that is circulated, along with the College's Conflict of Interest Policy, to all such individuals. The General Counsel and Secretary of the College reviews and analyzes any conflicts and maintains copies of disclosure statements. Violations of the conflict of interest policy are communicated to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Controller of the College, investigated by the College, and promptly corrected, including, where applicable, disciplinary action, up to the individual's removal from his or her position.”

“Pursuant to the College's by-laws, approved via a vote of the full Board, the compensation arrangements for the President and select officers and key employees are approved in advance through the following process. The Compensation Subcommittee of the Board's Executive Committee organizes and conducts the review of the President as the College's Chief Executive Officer, and makes recommendations to the Executive Committee and the Board concerning the compensation of the President and select officers and key employees. The Compensation Subcommittee consists of Trustees without a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement. In formulating its recommendations, the Compensation subcommittee obtains and relies upon comparability data regarding the compensation of the President and select officers and key employees at similarly situated private colleges and universities. The subcommittee presents to the Executive Committee its written report and recommendations. The Executive Committee may approve the subcommittee's report and recommendations or act otherwise, and the Executive Committee's action is then presented to the full Board in executive session for ratification. A written report of the approved compensation determination and the basis for that determination is subsequently filed and preserved with the College's General Counsel and Secretary.”

“The College makes its governing documents available to the public upon request. Its audited financial statements are posted on its website. The College does not make its conflict policy available to the public.”
