“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees are asked to sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement. If conflicts are disclosed the conflict must be disclosed to the full board, and any trustee with a conflict must be precluded from taking action on items of business for which they may have a conflict. Statements are collected by the secretary to the board annually. Annually each officer of the college is required to review the college's code of ethics, which includes our conflict of interest policy, and acknowledge compliance.”

“The board of trustees has a compensation committee that annually sets the compensation of the president and reviews the compensation for other senior executives. Compensation is regularly adjusted on september 1 of each year.

Based on that data and their assessment of the president's performance the compensation committee set the president's compensation for the 2013-2014 academic year.”
