“The Executive Committee of the board reviews, discusses, and approves the proposed salary and benefits for the members of the President's cabinet as submitted by the President. Presidential salary and benefits are also benchmarked with CCCU comparison data, determined, and approved by the Executive Committee of the Board. Compensation is benchmarked against national comparison data from the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and the Colleges and University Professional Association (CUPA). During this process, the Executive Committee attempts to maintain an appropriate balance of executive compensation levels compared to other salary levels within the institution. The process followed and decisions reached are documented in the minutes.”

“The Executive Committee shall, between regular Board meetings, be empowered to act as agent of the Board of Trustees in managing the business and affairs of John Brown University and on special matters as set forth in the Bylaws or as the Board shall from time to time designate.

“Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and is then detail reviewed by both the Executive Vice President and by the audit subcommittee. Copies are provided to all trustees for their review before the return is filed with the IRS.”

“The organization has a written conflict of interest policy. Board members and officers are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest on an annual basis. Any board member or a member of a committee of the board who perceives a possible conflict of interest involving a matter before the board shall identify that interest to the other members of the board, whether or not that interest is both: (1) conflicting and (2) material. If the board or committee Chairman determines that a material conflict of interest does exist, that member shall refrain from any further discussion on that issue except as requested for information by the board or committee and shall abstain from voting, such abstention being noted in the meeting record. A quorum of the board or committee must exist without that member's presence being needed. The Chairman shall determine whether it is appropriate to ask the conflicted individual to be absent during discussion.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and the financial statements are made available to the public upon request.”
