For members of the Board of Trustees and senior management, the university requires an annual disclosure of significant financial interest in, or employment or consulting relationships with, entities doing business with the university. When such relationships exist, measures are taken to address the actual or perceived conflict to protect the best interest of the university and ensure compliance with relevant conflict of interest laws.
