When a board member has an actual or potential conflict of interest, the individual notifies the board chair. When uncertainty exists concerning a conflict, the remaining members of the board of trustees make the determination. Where a conflict exists, the individual may not participate in discussions or votes on the transaction. All relevant information is documented in the minutes of the meeting.

Suitable solutions are then presented and pursued to avoid or mitigate the conflict.”
