Comprehensive Standard 3.2.3 - Governing board: conflict of interest of members

The board has a policy addressing conflict of interest for its members.

Judgment of Compliance

Davidson College is in compliance with Comprehensive Standard 3.2.3.

Rationale for Judgment of Compliance

Members of the Davidson College Board of Trustees are bound by its Ethics Policy, adopted on October 8, 2004.  New trustees are required to acknowledge in writing that they have reviewed the policy, and all trustees must complete a disclosure form, on an annual basis, “identifying any relationships, positions, or circumstances in which the Trustee is involved that the Trustee believes could contribute to an ethical conflict arising.”

Section II of that policy defines conflict of interest and assigns responsibility for identifying potential conflicts of interest to the trustees.  The policy provides procedures for disclosure of conflicts of interest both for transactions subject to Board action and those not subject to Board action, as well as disciplinary or corrective measures should a conflict not be reported.

Further, as an institution of higher education in the state of North Carolina, members of the Davidson College Board of Trustees are subject to North Carolina General Statute 14-234.  The relevant sections are as follows:

14-234.  Public officers or employees benefiting from public contracts

1. 1. No public officer or employee who is involved in making or administering a contract on behalf of a public agency may derive a direct benefit from the contract except as provided in this section, or as otherwise allowed by law.
   2. A public officer or employee who will derive a direct benefit from a contract with the public agency he or she serves, but who is not involved in making or administering the contract, shall not attempt to influence any other person who is involved in making or administering the contract.
   3. No public officer or employee may solicit or receive any gift, reward, or promise of reward in exchange for recommending, influencing, or attempting to influence the award of a contract by the public agency he or she serves.
2. 1. No public officer who will derive a direct benefit from a contract entered into under subsection (b) of this section may deliberate or vote on the contract or attempt to influence any other person who is involved in making or administering the contract
