ST. CATHERINE UNIVERSITY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY APPLIES TO ALL "INTERESTED PERSONS": OFFICERS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, KEY EMPLOYEES AND OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO MAY INFLUENCE THE ACTIONS OF THE INSTITUTION. INTERESTED PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT. PERIODIC REVIEWS ARE CONDUCTED TO ENSURE THE INSTITUTION OPERATES IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES AND DOES NOT ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. IF A CONFLICT OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT ARISES, THE INTERESTED PERSON ALERTS THE BOARD CHAIR TO SUCH CONFLICT BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN DELIBERATIONS OR DECISIONS ON THE MATTER. THE INTERESTED PERSON IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCLOSE MATERIAL FACTS TO THE BOARD. IF A CONFLICT IS FOUND TO EXIST, THE INTERESTED PERSON MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN DELIBERATIONS OR VOTING ON THE TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, EXCEPT TO PRESENT INFORMATION TO THE BOARD. THE BOARD CHAIR MAY APPOINT A DISINTERESTED PERSON OR COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ALTERNATIVES TO AVOID PERCEIVED OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS. IF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OR A COMMITTEE, BELIEVES AN INDIVIDUAL HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT INFORMS THE PERSON, AFFORDS THE PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE, MAKES FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED AND TAKES APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION. ALL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCUSSIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION WAS APPROVED BY THE OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EFFECTIVE 6/1/2010. IN 2011 AND IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS, THE PRESIDENT'S BASE SALARY AMOUNT SHALL BE INCREASED BY THE SAME PERCENTAGE INCREASE OFFERED OTHER UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEES ACCORDING TO THE BOARD-APPROVED COMPENSATION PLAN, AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ON THE SAME DAY AS THE INCREASES ARE EFFECTIVE FOR OTHER UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEES. BOARD CHAIR WILL DIRECT THE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT APPROPRIATE INCREASES FOR THE PRESIDENT. AS A MEMBER OF A RELIGIOUS ORDER, THE PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION IS PAID TO HER ORDER. THE UNIVERSITY PROVIDES A HOUSE, A CAR, AND BENEFITS TO THE PRESIDENT. UTILITIES AND MAINTENANCE AND OTHER OPERATING COSTS OF THE HOUSE AND CAR ARE ALSO PAID BY THE UNIVERSITY. THE OTHER OFFICERS' SALARIES ARE DETERMINED IN THE SAME WAY AS OTHER EXEMPT AND FACULTY EMPLOYEES. SALARIES ARE BENCHMARKED AGAINST THE MEDIAN OF 184 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES DESIGNATED AS MASTER'S RELIGIOUS BY THE CARNEGIE CLASSIFICATION. DATA FROM THE 184 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IS COLLECTED ANNUALLY BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION-HUMAN RESOURCES (CUPA-HR). THIS METHODOLOGY IS PART OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED COMPENSATION PLAN. THE "GAP CLOSURE" PORTION OF COMPENSATION INCREASES WAS BASED ON THE CALCULATION OF HOW FAR AWAY FROM THE EXTERNAL PEER COMPARISON DATA AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON'S SALARY FELL. FUNDS WERE AWARDED IN THIS WAY: THE GENERAL INCREASE WAS DISTRIBUTED AS FOLLOWS: 1.0% COMPA RATIO >105% 1.5% BETWEEN 98 % AND 104%; 2.0% BETWEEN 92 % AND 97%; 2.3% 90% OR 91%; 3.0% BETWEEN 80% AND 89%; 3.5% LOWER THAN 80% THE REMAINING AVAILABLE DOLLARS WERE AWARDED FOR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE OR INITIATIVE IN PURSUING THE UNIVERSITY'S STRATEGIC GOALS, BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENT, AND THE APPROPRIATE DEAN AND/OR VICE PRESIDENT. MERIT AWARDS WERE ADDED TO THE BASE WHERE A FACULTY OR STAFF MEMBER'S COMPA RATIO WAS ASSESSED AT <1.00, THAT IS LESS THAN THE COMPARISON MEDIAN AND; WHERE THE COMPA RATIO WAS ASSESSED AT 1.00 OR >1.00, THE MERIT AWARD WAS GIVEN IN THE FORM OF A ONE-TIME BONUS. SALARIES FOR THESE OFFICERS WERE ADJUSTED ACCORDING TO THE SAME FORMULAS AS FOR THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY.
