“Monitoring & enforcement of compliance with conflict of interest policy: the conflict of interest policy is signed annually by the board of trustees, reviewed by the president, and the copies are kept on file in the president's office. If a conflict is found, the interested person shall not be present or participate in the vote on whether to enter into such transaction with the interested person, but may be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. If the interested person is counted for quorum purposes, the action must be approved by a sufficient number of votes based upon that quorum. For example, if a majority vote of the quorum is required to approve an action, and eight (8) trustees constitute a quorum, the action must be approved by five (5) of the seven (7) disinterested trustees voting on the transaction or arrangement.”

In addition, the input of cabinet members as well as select staff and faculty members (steering committee) were also considered. The compensation was determined by using data as to comparable compensation packages for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. All deliberations and decisions were contemporaneously documented in the board minutes.”
