“All trustees, officers, key employees and the five highest paid employees of the university are requested to file an annual disclosure statement and report any known conflicts of interest. This disclosure statement must be completed at the time of appointment and then annually on or before October 31. The disclosure requires the individuals to note known and potential relationships or transactions which may give rise to a conflict. Trustees and officers also are requested to notify the Vice President for Business Affairs immediately if a change in his or her disclosure statement occurs during the year. The University reviews the forms and any identified conflicts are monitored to ensure compliance with the policy. All contracts, agreements, or arrangements that have the potential for a financial or other type of conflict of interest are reviewed and approved by the appropriate group, as laid out in our policy. An interested person recuses him or herself from the decision-making process, including removing him or herself from any discussions or meetings regarding the potential arrangement. Those without an interest in the matter decide whether a contract, agreement, transaction , or arrangement is fair and reasonable and is in the best interest of the University.”
