Significant Changes to Organizational Documents
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4
Over the past couple of years, the ATSU Board of Trustees has been transitioning towards a governance model designed to empower the President to creatively lead the University in a direction that is in lockstep with the organization's mission and vision, both of which are set by the Board. This governance model, named the Visionary Leadership Model, recognizes the President as the Board's one employee and empowers its one employee to run the organization while staying within the limitations set by the Board in order to achieve its vision for the future. The limitations serve as the boundaries within which the President must develop a strategic plan that is consistent with the organization's mission and vision and lead the organization forward. In addition, the Board sets Metrics for the President that reflect the institutional priorities and the way in which the Board measures success towards those priorities. The Board votes by "consensus" which is defined as the following: The cooperative process whereby all Board members speak with a single voice by developing and agreeing to support a decision that the Board believes to be in the best interest of the whole. A consensus is reached when all Board members present explicitly consent to the approval of the matter before the Board at a duly called meeting at which a quorum of Trustees is present. At the May 2011 meeting of the ATSU Board of Trustees, the bylaws of the institution were amended to reflect the new governance model. In addition, a new mission statement (see Schedule O) was adopted 9/25/10.

Compensation Review
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Lines 15a & b
At the May 2009 meeting of the A.T. Still University of Health Sciences Board of Trustees, the Board unanimously adopted a policy creating "The Executive Compensation Program." The AUDIT Team of the Board administers the Executive Compensation Program by recommending a competitive range of compensation for the officers and key employees of the University to be adopted by the full Board. The competitive ranges shall be determined by analyzing compensation structures for similar positions from similarly-situated organizations and from the independent compensation survey recently performed on the University by the Hay Group. The AUDIT Team reviews such data and recommends salary ranges to be adopted by the full Board once a year.
