Georgetown University

“The university's bylaws provide that the executive committee of the board of directors is authorized to take all actions that the full board of directors is authorized to take, except that the executive committee may not remove or elect the president. In addition, the concurrence of the full board is necessary in the event that the executive committee takes action with respect to a matter that, under the bylaws, is expressly placed under the direct supervision of the board. The members of the executive committee are nominated by the chairman of the board and are elected by the board for one-year terms. Only directors may serve on the executive committee.”

“Susan L. Bostrom and George W. Casey, both members of the Board of Directors, have a business relationship with each other.”

“THE UNIVERSITY IS ORGANIZED AS A NON-STOCK CORPORATION (THE "CORPORATION") UNDER a CONGRESSIONAL CHARTER. THE CORPORATION CONSISTS OF FIVE MEMBERS, WHO MEET ANNUALLY. JOHN J. DEGIOIA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY, IS AN EX-OFFICIO MEMBER OF THE CORPORATION. THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION ARE ELECTED FOR THREE-YEAR TERMS; THEIR TERMS ARE STAGGERED, SO THAT EACH YEAR ONE OR MORE MEMBERS IS ELECTED. AT ANY TIME THAT A VACANCY EXISTS, THE REMAINING MEMBERS, BY A MAJORITY VOTE AT A REGULAR OR SPECIAL MEETING, MAY ELECT A SUCCESSOR TO FILL THE VACANCY.”

“THE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY FORM 990 IS REVIEWED INTERNALLY BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EXTERNALLY BY AN INDEPENDENT TAX SERVICE FIRM, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP, AFTER WHICH IT IS SUBMITTED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT for FINANCE AND UNIVERSITY TREASURER TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW AND DISCUSSION. THE FINAL FORM 990 IS SENT TO EACH BOARD MEMBER BEFORE FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.”

“THE UNIVERSITY HAS WRITTEN CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES THAT APPLY TO ALL EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING OFFICERS AND SENIOR ADMINISTRATORS, AND TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THESE POLICIES REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS AND ARE INTENDED TO AVOID ACTUAL CONFLICTS AND THE APPEARANCE OF CONFLICTS. THE UNIVERSITY'S FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES, REQUIRES EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IN ROLES WHERE CONFLICTS COULD REASONABLY ARISE TO MAKE INITIAL, AS WELL AS ANNUAL AND UPDATED, DISCLOSURES OF "SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INTERESTS" AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND REQUIRES "INVESTIGATORS" WHO ARE INVOLVED IN SPONSORED RESEARCH TO MAKE SPECIAL DISCLOSURES. CONFLICT OF INTEREST OFFICERS ON EACH CAMPUS (AND A SPECIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST OFFICER FOR SENIOR OFFICERS AND ADMINISTRATORS) REVIEW DISCLOSURES, OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WHERE NECESSARY, AND MAKE DETERMINATIONS ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT OF ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS WHEN THEY ARISE. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES MAY INCLUDE RECUSAL FROM PARTICIPATION IN DECISION MAKING, DIVESTMENT OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS, MONITORING, OR OTHER MEASURES. A UNIVERSITY-WIDE FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST COMMITTEE OVERSEES THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY AND PERIODICALLY REVIEWS CAMPUS OFFICER DETERMINATIONS. THIS POLICY REQUIRES ANNUAL CERTIFICATIONS AND DISCLOSURES OF ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MIGHT GIVE RISE TO AN ACTUAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND PROHIBITS INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION MAKING BY ANY OFFICER OR SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR WHO HAS A CONFLICT. IN ADDITION, THE UNIVERSITY MONITORS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS RELATING TO RESEARCH PROJECTS THROUGH A REQUIRED STUDY-SPECIFIC DISCLOSURE AND REVIEW PROCESS. VIOLATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY'S CONFLICTS POLICIES MAY RESULT IN SANCTIONS UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY REQUIRES THAT EACH DIRECTOR AVOID ANY ACTUAL, POTENTIAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE DIRECTOR'S PERSONAL INTERESTS AND THE INTERESTS OF THE UNIVERSITY. DIRECTORS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST CERTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURE FORM AND DISCLOSE ON A CONTINUING BASIS ANY UPDATES TO THE ANNUAL FORM. THE SECRETARY OF THE UNIVERSITY, ALONG WITH THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THE UNIVERSITY, REVIEW THE ANNUAL DISCLOSURE FORMS AND CONSIDER AND DETERMINE APPROPRIATE REMEDIAL ACTIONS OR PROCEDURES as necessary.”

“The Subcommittee on Compensation of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Subcommittee") reviews the philosophy behind, and strategies to implement, the University's compensation structure. The Compensation Subcommittee is also responsible for evaluating the President and determining his compensation. Compensation information for similarly qualified individuals in functionally comparable positions at similar higher education institutions is obtained from several sources, including independent third-party consultants, and is taken into consideration as part of the compensation assessment process. The University maintains contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping relating to deliberations and decisions regarding the President's compensation arrangement. All members of the Compensation Subcommittee are independent board members. The last review of the President's compensation was in 2016.”
