“Conflict of interest policy emory university's conflict of interest policy requires trustees, officers and other decision makers to disclose participation in activities or circumstances that may present a conflict of interest on an annual basis or if at any time such individual becomes aware of circumstances that may present a conflict of interest. These disclosures by trustees are reviewed by the executive compensation and trustees' conflict of interest committee of the university board of trustees ("conflict of interest committee"), as necessary. If the conflict of interest committee determines that a conflict of interest exists, the individual with the conflict of interest may make a presentation to the applicable committee, but after such presentation, the individual must leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement that resulted in the conflict of interest. During the fiscal year none of the trustees with related business interests voted on business decisions involving such companies.”

“Determination of compensation emory university's executive compensation and trustees' conflict of interest committee of the board of trustees, which is composed of non-employee members of the emory university board of trustees, annually reviews market data, collected and reported by independent consulting firms, from comparable institutions for each position identified as a "disqualified person" for purposes of intermediate sanctions under irs regulations. The committee discusses the proposed compensation for each such individual in the context of the market data and the individual's performance and contribution to emory, and it makes a decision regarding the appropriateness of compensation and any compensation increase. The discussions are documented in the committee's minutes by a representative of the office of the general counsel.”

“Mission statement emory university's mission is to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity. To fulfill this mission, the university supports the full range of scholarship, from undergraduate to advanced graduate and professional instruction, and from basic research to its application in public service. While being a comprehensive research university, emory limits its academic scope to those fields in which, by virtue of its history and location, it can excel. Hence its academic programs focus on the arts and sciences, business, law, theology, and the health professions. These disciplines are unified by their devotion to liberal learning; by cooperative interdisciplinary programs; and by the common pursuit of intellectual distinction. The emory community is open to all who meet its high standards of intelligence, competence, and integrity. It welcomes a diversity of ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, religious, national, and international backgrounds, believing that the intellectual and social energy that results from such diversity is a primary asset of the university. In keeping with the demand that teaching, learning, research, and service be measured by high standards of integrity and excellence, and believing that each person and every level of scholarly activity should be valued on its own merits, the university aims to imbue scholarship at emory with * a commitment to humane teaching and mentorship and a respectful interaction among faculty, students, and staff; * open disciplinary boundaries that encourage integrative teaching, research, and scholarship; * a commitment to use knowledge to improve human well-being; and * a global perspective on the human condition. The university, founded by the methodist episcopal church, cherishes its historical affiliation with the united methodist church. While emory's programs are today entirely nonsectarian (except for those at the candler school of theology), the university has derived from this heritage the conviction that education can be a strong moral force in both society and the lives of its individual members.”
