“The University's 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 Associate Vice President for Tax and the University's Chief Financial Officer 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 it is filed 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, OR, WHERE APPROPRIATE, TO MANAGE CONFLICTS TO REMOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF BIAS. THE UNIVERSITY'S FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES, REQUIRES EMPLOYEES 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 CONFLICT OF INTEREST OFFICER FOR OFFICERS AND SENIOR 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 MECHANISMS 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, SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR, OR OTHER EMPLOYEE WHO HAS AN ACTUAL OR APPARENT 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 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 Presidents 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 record keeping 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 2019.”
