Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“There are nine voting board members and two proxy board members. The board of directors appoints the four student board members from applications. Three student members have full voting rights and one student member acts as a proxy. The student board members have the same voting rights as the other board members. A proxy member may vote if their assigned voting member cannot attend. The executive director is an ex-officio board member without voting rights.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“Finance committee meets in april to go over the proposed budget. Minutes are not taken at that meeting, but based upon that meeting, the treasurer proposes the budget to the full board at the next board meeting at which minutes are taken. Other committees do not have regular meetings. If any action is taken it is reported at the next board meeting and recorded in those minutes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“For the year when there are audited financial statements, the audited financial statements are presented to the full board, then the form 990 is presented to the executive director and associate director for review before filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“During the hiring process, the executive committee of the board was given information on pay for comparable positions in other student media organizations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Documents have not been provided to the general public in the past. Students, board members and staff undergoing training are given a copy of the conflict of interest policy. Board members, student editors-in-chief and professional staff members are given a copy of financial statements at monthly board meetings.”
