The principal objectives of the University are the advancement of learning by teaching and research and its dissemination by every means. The University's aim to lead the world in research and education is focused on seven over-arching objectives: * To develop our capacity to generate and share knowledge in the UK, Europe, and globally, ensuring significant contributions to public policy-making and economic growth. * To work effectively with other institutions and organisations, where such partnerships can lead to outstanding research and teaching. * To enhance structures for collaboration across departments, colleges and the University. * To fulfil the aspiration that no potential student should be deterred from applying to Oxford by financial or other barriers and that no student's success should be hampered by financial difficulties * To ensure, through a commitment to the personal education of each student, a quality of education and experience which enables students to apply the values, skills and intellectual discipline they have acquired in the their future lives and careers, and which generates a lifelong sense of connection with Oxford * To contribute effectively to the cultural, social and economic life of the city of Oxford and the Oxfordshire region. * To recruit and retain the best academic staff, ensuring that under-represented groups have equality of opportunity in recruitment, personal development, and career progression in all areas of employment in the University.

During the financial year 1 August 2013 to 31 July 2014, the University made the following changes to its Statutes: Statute XI: University Discipline - to amend the student disciplinary procedures to improve their operation whilst safeguarding equity and the principles of natural justice. Statute XIV: Employment of academic and support staff by the university - to establish the grade of associate professor.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b
Once the University's financial statements have been signed off, a meeting is arranged with key finance/tax employees to identify changes to the previous year's Form 990, identify changes in applicable law, agree methodology for gathering information and agree a timetable for completion and review of the Form 990. After information has been gathered, figures are prepared and reconciled to the financial statements. A review is done at this stage by key tax/finance staff to ensure accuracy and all detail is captured. A meeting is held with the University's Director of Finance to discuss specific aspects of the Form 990. Prior to submission, a final review of the Form 990 is undertaken by key staff including the Director of Finance on behalf of Council (the University's governing body).
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c
The university has a conflict of interest committee, the remit of which includes ensuring that there are appropriate systems in place to promote and monitor compliance with the university's policy on conflict of interest. Committee secretaries are asked to draw the conflict of interest policy to the attention of their members on an annual basis and to remind committee members at each meeting of the requirement to declare any conflicts or potential conflicts. University departments are also required to self-assess their compliance with the policy on an annual basis. The conflict of interest committee considers responses and follows up as necessary.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15
The university has a committee to review the salaries of senior University Officers. The committee includes three members who are external to the university and two members who are not subject to arrangements with regard to their personal salary which are determined by any process involving an individual whose salary is covered by the remit of the committee. The committee makes recommendations to Council on the salaries on appointment of the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, and the Director of Finance; reviews the salaries of each of those office-holders with effect from the 1 October closest to two calendar years after the starting salaries were set for each office-holder; and reviews the salaries of each office-holder every two years thereafter. The date on which this process was last undertaken for current senior officers was: The Vice Chancellor, Registrar, and Director of Finance: October 1, 2013. The committee is also responsible, on the recommendation of a panel of the personnel committee, for: * Determining the salaries on appointment of the pro-vice-chancellors with special responsibility for designated functions and of the heads of divisions; * Reviewing the salaries of each of those office-holders with effect from the 1 October closest to two calendar years after the starting salaries were set for each office-holder; and * Reviewing the salaries of each office-holder every two years thereafter. In carrying out reviews the committee considers whether there have been any significant changes in the duties of, or any significant developments associated with, the offices concerned since the salaries of the holders of the offices were last determined; and ensures that the views of the officeholders concerned and the views of the officers to whom those officeholders are responsible have been solicited.
