ANY CONFLICT IDENTIFIED IS REPORTED TO THE APPROPRIATE OFFICE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING THE CONFLICT, SUCH AS THE REAL ESTATE OFFICE FOR REAL ESTATE MATTERS. THIS PROCEDURE IS DESIGNED TO HELP ENSURE THAT SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REVIEW AND AUTHORIZATION. ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, BOARD OF OVERSEERS, AN OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION, OR OTHER SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR MUST REPORT ANNUALLY, IN WRITING, ANY EXTERNAL INTERESTS, OR THOSE OF A FAMILY MEMBER OR ASSOCIATE, TO THE UNIVERSITY COUNSEL AND SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION. THE UNIVERSITY COUNSEL AND SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION WILL ADVISE THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES REGARDING SUCH MATTERS AS NECESSARY INCLUDING DETERMINING WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS AND HOW CORNELL UNIVERSITY SHOULD BEST MANAGE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AN INDIVIDUAL IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN HE OR SHE, A MEMBER OF HIS OR HER FAMILY, OR AN ASSOCIATE (TO HIS OR HER PRESENT KNOWLEDGE) EITHER: (1) HAS AN EXISTING OR POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INTEREST OR OTHER MATERIAL INTEREST OR RELATIONSHIP THAT IMPAIRS OR MIGHT APPEAR TO IMPAIR THE INDIVIDUALS INDEPENDENCE AND OBJECTIVITY IN THE DISCHARGE OF HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE UNIVERSITY; OR (2) MAY RECEIVE A FINANCIAL OR OTHER MATERIAL BENEFIT FROM INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL TO THE UNIVERSITY. TYPICALLY, A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY ARISE WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE THE UNIVERSITYS BUSINESS, ADMINISTRATIVE, ACADEMIC, OR OTHER DECISIONS IN WAYS THAT COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL GAIN OR ADVANTAGE OF ANY KIND. UPON FULL REPORTING, THE UNIVERSITY MAY APPROVE A TRANSACTION OR AFFILIATION, PROVIDED THAT THE CONFLICT CAN BE MANAGED. IN MANY CASES, THE CONFLICT CAN BE MANAGED THROUGH DISCLOSURE. IN SOME CASES, THE INDIVIDUAL MAY BE REQUIRED TO REPORT ON THE CONFLICT ANNUALLY. THE UNIVERSITY WILL DISAPPROVE THE TRANSACTION OR AFFILIATION IF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS INVOLVED THAT CANNOT BE MANAGED.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 12-16 CORNELL UNIVERSITY HAS ADOPTED POLICIES COVERING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, WHISTLEBLOWERS AND DOCUMENT RETENTION AND DESTRUCTION, AS WELL AS OTHER SIGNIFICANT POLICIES, EACH OF WHICH IS POSTED ON ITS WEBSITE. THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY POLICY PROMULGATION PROCESS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1991. THE CURRENT POLICY PROMULGATION PROCESS DOES NOT REQUIRE DOCUMENTATION DEMONSTRATING THAT EACH SPECIFIC POLICY HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OR THAT THE LITERAL AUTHORITY TO PROMULGATE POLICY WAS DELEGATED. CORNELL TAKES A SUBSTANTIATED POSITION THAT THE AUTHORITY TO PROMULGATE POLICIES WAS DELEGATED TO EACH EXECUTIVE BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE IN 1991.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15 PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION COMPENSATION: THE UNIVERSITY HAS FORMAL PROCEDURES TO AUTHORIZE AND MANAGE COMPENSATION ISSUES. THE PROCEDURES IDENTIFIED BELOW APPLY TO ALL OFFICERS, ALL FORMER OFFICERS WHO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE INSTITUTION AS A WHOLE, AND ALL EMPLOYEES WHOSE COMPENSATION EXCEEDS A PRE-ESTABLISHED THRESHOLD. THE VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER (VP) DEVELOPS THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND OBTAINS COMPARATIVE DATA FROM EXTERNAL, INDEPENDENT CONSULTING FIRMS. THE VP AND HER INTERNAL STAFF DEVELOP FORMAL PRESENTATIONS FOR THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE INFORMATION, MODIFIES IT IF DEEMED APPROPRIATE, APPROVES CASES PER ITS DELEGATED AUTHORITY, AND INFORMS THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THOSE APPROVALS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS COMPENSATION FOR CASES EXCEEDING ITS AUTHORITY FOR FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. IN ADDITION, THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINS CONTEMPORANEOUS WRITTEN RECORDS OF THE PROCEDURES THAT, TOGETHER WITH THE FOREGOING, GIVE RISE TO A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION THAT COMPENSATION IS REASONABLE. NOTE: COMPENSATION PROPOSALS WHICH OCCUR OUTSIDE THE SPRING TIMELINE AND REQUIRE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND/OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APPROVAL ARE PRESENTED FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL IN PRIVATE SESSION OF THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE. IF THERE IS A DISCRETIONARY COMPONENT OF COMPENSATION, IT IS LIMITED BY AMOUNT, PERCENTAGE, OR OTHER CLEARLY SPECIFIED CRITERIA.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 16A PROCEDURES FOR PARTICIPATION IN JOINT VENTURES: THE UNIVERSITY HAS NUMEROUS CONTROLS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT ANY INVESTMENT IN, CONTRIBUTION OF ASSETS TO, OR PARTICIPATION IN A JOINT VENTURE OR SIMILAR ARRANGEMENT WITH A TAXABLE OR NON-TAXABLE ENTITY ARE IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH UNIVERSITY POLICIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE POLICY ON TRANSACTION AUTHORITY AND UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. COMPLIANCE WITH THE UNIVERSITYS POLICIES SERVES TO PROTECT THE ORGANIZATIONS EXEMPT STATUS.
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19 PROCESS FOR MAKING DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THE UNIVERSITYS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC VIA THE UNIVERSITYS WEBSITE.
FORM 990, PART VIII, PART IX AND PART X CURRENT YEAR REVENUE AND EXPENSE PRESENTS DATA OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY DECONSOLIDATED ON EACH LINE FROM ITS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN CORNELLS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
