“Schreiner university has a conflict of interest policy that covers members of the board of trustees and a policy that covers all administrators, faculty and staff. Every member of the board of trustees shall execute and deliver to the office of the president annually, on a form to be provided by the university, a certification that he or she has read the conflict of interest policy, understands it, and to the best of his or her knowledge and belief has complied with it fully in the past and will in the future comply fully with it. When it becomes apparent to a trustee that a matter pending before the board gives rise to a conflict of interest, the trustee shall immediately disclose his conflicting interest to the board. He shall thereafter take no part in the deliberations on the matter, and shall refrain from voting thereon. In order to avoid the improper disclosure to the conflicted trustee of sensitive information, he shall, on the request of the chair of the board or a majority vote of the board, absent himself from the board room while the matter is under deliberation. The vice president for planning and finance is responsible for the oversight of the policy over all administrators, faculty and staff. Any employee who has any influence on transactions involving university purchases, contracts, leases, or business matters must disclose the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest to the vice president of planning and finance as soon as possible through prompt and complete disclosure so that safeguards can be established to protect all parties. Key employees annually, on a form to be provided by the university, a certification that he or she has read the conflict of interest policy, understands it, and to the best of his or her knowledge and belief has complied with it fully in the past and will in the future comply fully with it.”

“The executive assessment and compensation committee is responsible for recommending annually to the board a compensation package for the president that is competitive relative to the university's peer institutions, recognizes performance, and allows the university to retain highly capable presidential leadership. Schreiner university submits salary information based on position job code as part of the participation agreement with college and university professional association human resources (cupahr). To accurately measure a competitive position among comparable institutions, salary benchmarking analysis is reflective of current benchmarking standards from cupahr. The values are assessed annually and the analysis is shared with the executive assessment and compensation committee to determine compensation of the president. The committee's recommendations are submitted for review and action by the executive committee by the may meeting, with final action by the board in executive session in may. All proceedings are documented within meeting minutes. Regarding other key employees, the president similarly will conduct annual performance reviews of each of these individuals, and will report annually compensation adjustments for these employees.”
