Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of Westminster College is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Trustees regarding the terms of contract with the President and the President's compensation, conducting an annual evaluation of the President, and overseeing compensation for the provost, vice presidents, staff who report directly to the President, and covered employees for fairness, effectiveness, and reasonableness. * In forming a recommendation regarding the President's compensation, the Committee will rely on comparability data, such as the compensation paid to Presidents and executive officers by similar institutions. This data may include compensation studies by independent organizations, written job offers for positions at similar organizations, and information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. * The Committee shall fully disclose the proposed employment contract for the President, including its recommendation for compensation and all material financial terms, to the full Board of Trustees for approval. * Concurrent with its recommendation regarding compensation, the Committee shall provide an annual report to the Board regarding its evaluation of the President's performance. * The President will present to the Committee his or her report on compensation for the provost, vice presidents, staff who report directly to the President, and any covered employee, including comparability data and performance information. * The Committee will take and keep minutes that document how it formed its recommendations and approval decisions. The minutes will include the following: a The terms of the compensation and the date it was approved; b The members of the Committee who were present during the Committee meetings and who voted on the recommendation; and c The comparability data obtained and reviewed and the source of the data.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts
Process of Identification: The Secretary of the Board will collect Statements of Disclosure from all trustees, officers, and key employees each year at the first Board meeting of the College's fiscal year and from all new trustees, officers, and key employees at the time of their appointment. The Audit 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 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 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 Committee may refer any conflict of issue matter to the Board at any time.
