“A Code of By-Laws amendment modified responsibilities pertaining to the Audit Committee.”

“The Form 990 is prepared by Vanderbilt University and provided to PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University's independent accounting firm for review. After review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Vanderbilt University provides a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules for review to all General Officers, which includes the chancellor and Chief Financial Officer. Once this review process is complete, all trustees are provided electronic access to the draft Form 990 and all required schedules for review. The final Form 990 and all required schedules are made available to the full Board of Trust for review via Boardbooks prior to the filing of the return.”

“Vanderbilt University requires that for any faculty or staff member disclosing a potential conflict of interest, the conflict be reviewed by the individual's manager, as well as by the conflict of interest and commitment management office, and the reported conflict be managed, reduced, or eliminated. The manager is required to respond that any recommended management plan has been implemented or that the reported conflict no longer exists. For those conflicts in which Vanderbilt may have an institutional interest, those in which human subject research is performed, or those deemed unmanageable, the university conflicts committee reviews and determines appropriate actions. The university conflicts committee members are appointed by the chancellor and are made up of a faculty member representing each of the university schools, the vice chancellor for administration, the assistant vice chancellor of technology transfer, the director of the human research and protection program, the associate vice chancellor of audit, risk and advisory services and the head of research for the university. The university conflicts committee is chaired by the vice chancellor, general counsel and secretary of the university. The university conflicts committee reports bi-annually to the audit committee of the Board of Trust the matters brought before the committee and the resulting actions. Board of Trust members and senior executive management of the university also must complete annual conflict of interest disclosures and management plans are developed to manage, reduce, or eliminate any potential conflicts of interest. Trustees are notified of their plans and the plans are thoroughly discussed with them to ensure compliance. Those with disclosed potential conflict of interest are presented to the audit committee of the board of trust, along with their respective management action plans, where applicable. Management plans may include restrictions on members such as recusing themselves during deliberations and decisions in which a potential conflict may exist, with the minutes of the meeting reflecting their recusal. Additionally, all members of the Vanderbilt community are required to disclose potential conflicts as they arise throughout the year. The same processes noted above occur for these disclosures.”

“To ensure that Vanderbilt is paying reasonable total compensation, is not violating the private inurement prohibition, which requires that none of the organization's income or assets unreasonably benefit any of its trustees, officers, or key employees, and is in compliance with intermediate sanctions provisions with respect to the general officers, Vanderbilt's Board of Trust has designated a Compensation Committee made up of outside, independent, board members to review and recommend to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trust the total compensation annually for the general officers. The committee utilizes appropriate, nationally-recognized consulting firms to conduct market compensation analyses, provide expert information, and issue reasonableness opinions regarding comparative compensation norms, and to ensure compliance with all Internal Revenue Service rules concerning executive compensation, including the Internal Revenue Code provision related to intermediate sanctions, deferred compensation, and private inurement. The Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation philosophy and affirms that it is in line with the Board's expectations. The compensation of the general officers is disclosed in the annual Form 990, which is available to the public in accordance with regulations section 301.6104(d)-1 through 3. Each year, the total compensation review and recommendations are recorded in the minutes of the Compensation Committee meetings. The approval of the recommendations is recorded in the Executive Committee meetings. The full Board is informed annually of the total compensation of the general officers during private session.”
