“Members of the finance committee of the open campus board review the entire form 990 before it is filed with the irs. A copy will be made available to all board members electronically.”

“Our organization is committed to regularly and consistently monitoring and enforcing compliance with our policies, including those related to conflicts of interest. The board of directors completes an annual disclosure statement. Board members are also required to notify the board of directors when any transactions arise that could involve an actual or possible conflict of interest. If any disclosures require further investigation, the treasurer or board chair work with the board of directors to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Officers, key employees and members of management are interviewed annually for conflict of interest disclosures. If any disclosures require further investigation, the ceo works with the board chair to investigate and resolve any such disclosures. Any transactions which require review under the organization's conflict of interest policy are considered by the ceo. Any individual with a conflict, or who is a party to the transaction being considered, may not participate in the deliberation or decision with respect to the transaction. The board of directors reviews and approves whether to enter into the transaction being considered.”

“Compensation for the ceo, editor-in-chief and chief revenue officer was determined through a review of forms 990 of other comparable organizations, and a careful consideration of each individual's experience, qualifications, knowledge, and the best interests of the organization. The ceo and editor in chief, as co-founders, decided to take smaller salaries to get the organization off the ground. The ceo's salary is subject to review by the board of directors, which evaluates his performance. The ceo reviews the performance of the editor-in-chief and chief revenue officer and may, at his discretion, approve changes to compensation.”

“Documents will be made available as included in publicly available forms.”

“At open campus we believe that citizens deserve better coverage of their colleges and how well they serve their families and their communities. Every day we work with reporters in our partner newsrooms across the country to scrutinize how well colleges are meeting their social missions, assess the impact of public policies, and tell stories about the people whose lives are impacted. Because of that, citizens are armed with the information they need to engage more fully in civic debate and make better decisions about their own education and careers, too. Most cities in america lack a dedicated higher-education reporter. In fact, there's no one focused on the beat in about two-thirds of the nation's top 50 markets. That creates a disconnect between colleges and the public, fueling skepticism and undermining the promise of higher education. With partner newsrooms across the country we put dedicated reporters on the beat to cover all facets of higher education and how it impacts people and places.”
