FORM 990 REVIEW PROCESS
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11a
Responsibility for reviewing the Form 990 has been delegated from the Board of Governors to the Finance Committee. A draft copy of the Form 990 was made available to members of the Finance Committee via a secure web-link. Members of the Finance Committee are free to seek clarification on any items on the return from management. The final version of the Form 990 was made available to all board members via a secure web-link before the return was sent to the Internal Revenue Service.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
The University of New Haven's Board of Governors Conflict of Interest Policy was created to comply with the Connecticut Revised Non-stock Corporation Act. The policy identifies what constitutes a conflict of interest for a Board Member and what is required of a Board Member if a conflict were to arise. The underlying principles of the policy are aimed at insuring a full and timely disclosure made by a Board Member regarding any conflict of interest that may exist. Board Members with conflicts are not to be involved in any Board deliberations or vote on the matter. In addition, if the transaction is to be approved at the University Staff level, then, the Board Member shall have no involvement in the Staff decision making process. The procedures regarding the implementation of the conflicts policy contains three steps; submission of the Annual Confirmation Form, Reporting of subsequent conflicts of interest and the Secretary's role in reporting conflicts to the Ethics Subcommittee of the Board's Executive Committee. The scope of this policy covers current Board Members, Emeritus Board Members, Significant Donors, University officers, professors and other employees of the University. The policy is reviewed and monitored with the submission of the Annual Confirmation Form being submitted to Executive Assistant to the President. An additional confirmation is secured with a review of the Annual Confirmation Forms by the University Administration.
COMPENSATION POLICY
PART VI, SECTION B, LINES 15A & 15B
There are two sequential steps taken each fiscal year at the University of New Haven with regard to the decisions made by the Board of Governors in connection with the compensation awarded to the top management officials at the University, viz., its senior officers consisting of: (i) the President; (ii) the Provost; and (iii) the Vice Presidents. The first step involves a special committee of the Board of Governors. Its Compensation Committee (the "Committeee"), which is comprised of four members: (i) the Board Chair and Vice Chair; and (ii) two other Board members. The members of the Committee are selected by the Board Chair; and the Committee has been authorized by the Board to act in its special capacity. The members of the Committee are independent persons with no conflicts of interest, and who thus are able to conduct the compensation review at "arms' length." With regard to the Universitys 7/1/10-6/30/11 fiscal year, the Committee conducted an in-depth review, and discussion, of four relevant matters. First, it reviewed the various elements of compensation for each senior officer, including base salary, bonus incentives, standard ERISA-qualified health and retirement plans, taxable allowances, and other benefits. Second, the Committee reviewed appropriate comparability data based on the geographic location, academic programs offered and the financial resources of the University. Third, the reasonableness of this data was substantiated with benchmarking each senior officers position with market norms. Fourth, and finally, the levels of responsibility and overall qualifications of each of the senior officers relative to market comparable positions, and also each senior officers job performance, were also reviewed. (As is prudent, the Committees deliberations and decisions were documented by concurrently prepared minutes by a Committee member who is a practicing Connecticut attorney.) The second and final step in the compensation approval process commenced with the Committees presentation of its report at a meeting of the Board with regard to (i) the data that the Committee reviewed; and (ii) its compensation recommendations to the Board. (In this context, all members of the Board are independent persons with no conflicts of interest, and who thus are able to conduct the compensation review at "arms' length.") The Board then discussed this data from the Committee and the Committees recommendations. Thereupon, a resolution was adopted by a majority of the Board in its approval of the particular compensation amounts to be awarded to each of the senior officers. (As is prudent, the Committees deliberations and decisions were documented by concurrently prepared minutes by a Board member who is a practicing Connecticut attorney.) COMPENSATION FOR KEY EMPLOYEES IS CALCULATED IN A SIMILAR FASHION AS PROVIDED ABOVE BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE BOARD REVIEW OR APPROVAL.
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE POLICY
