| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a: | According to the AUAC Board of Trustee Bylaws, the AUAC Executive Committee of the Board functions as a Standing Committee of the Board of Trustees. In compliance with the Bylaws, the Executive Committee is comprised of seven board members: Lawrence Pitts, MD, Executive Committee Chair (also Chairman of the AUAC Board of Trustees); Mihran Agbabian, PhD; Zaven Akian, Armen Der Kiureghian, PhD (President of AUA); William Frazer, PhD; Karl Pister, PhD; Berge Setrakian, Esq; Louise Manoogian Simone. There are no committee members who are not members of the Board of Trustees. As prescribed by the bylaws, the Executive Committee may exercise all the authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation between meetings of the Board, but as stipulated by the bylaws, is not authorized to fill board or committee vacancies; amend or repeal board resolutions, bylaws or articles of incorporation and may not bind the Corporation to any contract or agreement which may create liability for an amount in excess of $100,000 beyond the authorized budget. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3; Part VII, Section A; and Schedule J: | President Boghosian is an employee of Tufts University, an unrelated, tax-exempt organization. He provided management and executive services to AUAC as part of a contract between AUAC and Tufts. AUAC reimbursed Tufts for 100% of the President's wages and benefits. Total compensation for calendar year 2014 was $200,632 which is shown on Schedule J, Part II. President Der Kiureghian is an employee of both AUAC and UC Berkeley, an unrelated, tax-exempt organization. He provided management and executive services to AUAC as part of a contract between AUAC and UC Berkeley. AUAC reimbursed UC Berkeley for 100% of the President's wages and benefits. Total compensation for calendar year 2014 under the UC Berkeley and that under the AUAC contract was $217,146, which is shown on Schedule J, Part II. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b: | A copy of the Form 990 is provided to the organization's governing body, the Board, before it is filed. The President and Treasurer approve the return before it is filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c: | The American University of Armenia Corporation regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy. The Board has adopted a conflict of interest policy and an associated reporting form. Trustees and top management are requested to review and sign the form annually. The signed forms are reviewed for potential conflict of interest by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, according to the definitions of conflict of interest specified in Article II of the Conflict of Interest Policy. In making a conflict of interest determination, the Chairman "may consult with other members of the Board of Trustees as the Chairman deems appropriate". If the Chairman determines that a conflict of interest exists, in accordance with Article III Procedures of the American University of Armenia Conflict of Interest Policy, the Chairman appoints a disinterested person or a committee to "investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement". A record of all disinterested party discussions, determinations, names of those involved and appeals are kept. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a: | The previous AUA President was hired after an international search and in consultation with a search firm regarding comparable salaries and scope of work. The compensation determination for the President included a review and approval by the AUAC Executive Committee of the board. The current AUA President was hired at a salary not exceeding that of the previous President. Currently, the Executive Committee doubles as the Compensation Committee. The board is comprised of independent persons with the exception of president who serves as a member of the board of trustees and the Executive Committee in an ex officio capacity but who does not take part in the compensation review and approval process. Comparison data for like universities, e.g., other 'American Universities of...", were provided by Korn-Ferry, an executive search firm often involved with executive searches for "American Universities of...". At time of hire of the previous President, using the data provided, the Executive Committee (Compensation Committee) determined a salary that didn't require increases for the term of the contract as there was agreement that the current salary was at a level consistent with like university presidential salaries. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b: | Hiring and salary decisions of top management officials are reviewed and approved by the Board. There is also a pay scale in place for the Armenia staff and the human resource office in Armenia does periodic surveys for staff position salaries prevailing in Armenia. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19: | American University of Armenia Corporation makes available to the public its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements upon written request. |
