Any unresolved conflicts are addressed by the audit committee with recommendations to the full board as needed. Failure to complete the survey or the submission of a false or incomplete survey, or failure to disclose immediately any new conflicts of interest that may arise, or failure to cooperate without condition, honestly and completely with any investigation or review of the board member's survey results or his/her actions or circumstances shall be grounds for sanction by the board of trustees up to and including removal from the board/committee/council.
