The Executive Committee has the power to transact all business delegated to it by the BOT and shall, during periods between meetings of the BOT and for all matters of an urgent nature for which it is impractical or impossible to delay decisions until the next meeting of the BOT, have the power to transact all business of the BOT in the management of the Corporation, subject to any limitations otherwise imposed on the BOT as a whole. The Executive Committee shall have such additional powers as conferred upon it by the BOT, and shall report in writing to the BOT following each meeting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | Describe the process used by the organization to review this Form 990: The Form 990 is prepared by the Nova Southeastern University finance staff and presented to the University's outside tax accountants (KPMG, LLP) for review. After review by the outside tax accountants, a draft copy of the Form 990 and all required schedules are provided for review to the Vice President of Finance/Chief Financial Officer and the President/Chief Executive Officer of the University.

To aid in the identification of and correction of any actual or perceived violations of the University's Code of Conduct Policy, NSU has a written Compliance Plan. The Compliance Plan not only explains the compliance obligations of all NSU colleagues, it contains specific directives for key personnel and committees to uphold the Compliance Plan and ensure that their team members have sufficient information to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, and policies, as well as the resources to resolve ethical dilemmas. In addition to the foregoing, each year, the University asks the governing Board of Trustees, officers, directors, and key employees to respond to a questionnaire and disclose on a yearly basis. The questionnaire is designed to collect information and monitor compliance. |

Compensation analysis and recommendations for other university officers and key positions are prepared by the Office of Human Resources and reviewed by the university's senior executives. |
