The Audit and Compliance Committee will review each Statement of Disclosure for actual or potential conflicts of interest, including, but not limited to, the following factors: * Solicitation or acceptance of gifts, gratuities, free travel, or other items of value that could create the appearance of a conflict or an expectation of special treatment in College matters; * Incidents of abuse or misuse of an individual's position for personal or third-party gain or benefit; * Use of the College's staff, services, equipment, materials, resources, or property for personal or third party gain, or representing to third parties that one's authority as a trustee, officer, volunteer, or key employee is more extensive than it is in actuality; * Situations where a trustee, officer, or key employee may be divided between personal interests or the interests of another organization and the best interests of the College; * Engagement in business, professional conduct, or other activities that may be directly or indirectly adverse to the interests of the College; and, * Any arrangements in which a trustee, officer, or key employee provides goods or services to the College as a paid vendor or outside service-provider.The Audit and Compliance Committee may request additional information from any trustee, officer, or key employee at any time. While an individual's relationships or activities are under review, the individual may not deliberate, debate, or vote until a determination is made.Resolution: When the Audit and Compliance Committee or the Board of Trustees identifies an actual, potential, or apparent conflict of interest, it may take one of the following actions to resolve such conflict: * Waive the conflict of interest as unlikely to affect the trustee's, officer's, volunteer's or key employee's ability to act in the best interests of the College; * Recuse the individual trustee, officer, volunteer, or key employee from deliberation or decision-making related to the specific matter giving rise to the conflict. * Request the resignation of the trustee, officer, volunteer or key employee from his or her service or position at the College because the conflict of interest is so pervasive that it is likely the trustee, officer or key employee would be unable to act solely in the best interests of the College.The Board of Trustees has final authority over the resolution of all conflicts of interest involving a trustee, officer, or key employee and may overrule any decision of the Audit Committee and the Audit and Compliance Committee may refer any conflict of issue matter to the Board at any time.”
