When such a possibility arises, the trustee shall inform the chair of the conflict of interest. The affected trustee may then listen to the basic presentation of the matter to the board, and may briefly provide any corrective factual information relevant to the board's ultimate decision. After offering any such information, the conflicted trustee shall leave the meeting room and shall not participate further in the decision. No staff shall gather or analyze information, or make any presentation or recommendation to the board of trustees, regarding a decision involving an entity in which the staff has a substantial interest. If a key staff presents a matter involving such an affected entity, the key staff shall forthwith inform the president and ceo, the chair of the board of trustees, or both, of the conflict. Either the president and ceo or the chair shall then designate another, unaffected staff member as the person to supervise the matter from which the conflict has arisen, and the conflicted key staff shall not participate further in the decision.”
