St. Edward's University's Conflict of Interest Policy is applicable to all members of the university's Board of Trustees and Officers. A conflict is deemed to exist in the event that a Trustee, Officer or family member of either is affiliated with an organization that may transact business with the university. The policy defines "Trustee", "Officer", "family members" and "affiliation". Disclosure of any/all of these types of relationships or the appearance of such relationships is required to be made annually by September or as soon as a potential conflict arises. These disclosures are made in writing on the St. Edward's Conflict of Interest form and submitted to the Assistant to the President for Institutional Relations for trustees and to the Assistant to the President for Strategic Planning for university officers. After collecting the Conflict of Interest forms, the assistants provide the President and Chair of the Board with a report stating whether or not there are any conflicts. If any potential conflicts are disclosed, the appropriate assistant is to notify university's legal counsel. Counsel will in turn determine if an actual conflict exists. If a conflict is determined to exist with a trustee the matter is reported to the university President and Board Chair. If a conflict is determined to exist with a university officer, the matter is reported to the university President. In either case, the individual(s) receiving the report must take all appropriate action.
