Schedule E, Part I, Line 3
The College customarily draw a substantial percentage (50%) of its students from outside of Illinois, nationwide and world-wide, and follows a racially nondiscriminatory policy. Admissions and recruiting efforts are the best way to make this information known. Our policy is on the College Website and the Online Catalog and on the Admission application page. Lake Forest College does not discriminate against any persons because of race, color, sex, religion or national or ethnic origin. In order to demonstrate that we are following our policy we point to our current enrollment of racial minority students which stands at about 27%; we feel this is a meaningful number to qualify for the publicity notice exemption proivded by Section 4.03(2)(b) of Rev. Proc. 75-50.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
The form was given to the trustee members of the Budget & Audit Committee for review and comment prior to filing. Review was done at a formal meeting of the Committee on April 11th, 2012.

F990_P06_S0B_L12c
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
All interested persons are required to disclose conflicts annually. Forms are sent to Board Members, Senior Administrators, and all Department Managers. The Secretary of the College accumulates all disclosure statements for Board members and furnishes them to the Chairman of the Board. The secretary of the College will report to the Chairman of the Board those individuals failing to furnish an annual statement. Board Members or Senior Administrators who have declared a conflict of interest, or who have been found to have a conflict of interest, shall refrain from participating in any proposed transaction involving the outside interest held by the Board Member or Senior Administrator including consideration of the transaction or voting, unless the Board or Administration requests information or interpretation for special reasons that are stated on the record or in writing. Should a determination regarding the existence of a conflict of interest matter require an Executive Committee or Board vote to resolve, those concerned shall not be present at the time of the vote. The VP of Business Affairs collects and revews the forms which are not Board Members or Senior Administrators. Compliance is checked in her office and conflicts are resolved with the review of the President. Noncompliance is a performance issue.

Compensation for each is benchmarked to that of peers at colleges in the Associated Colleges of the Midwest and the Great Lakes Colleges Association. Information about level of reward at other national Carnegie IIB colleges is reviewed. Data published in The Chronicle of Higher Education on salaries from tax forms is also reviewed. Salary data is reviewed and set annually by the President for positions reporting to the President. The President reviews these salaries with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Truestees. The President's salary is reviewed and set annually by a compensation committee in the Board of Trustees and a letter is sent to the VP of Business Affairs with the salary information.
