Conflict of Interest Form

I, , acknowledge that in carrying out my duties as a Trustee of The Catholic University of America, I am charged with fiduciary trust with respect to the University. To this end, I acknowledge my responsibility to act in the course of my duties solely in the best interests of the University, without consideration of the interests of any other entity and to refrain from taking part in any transaction where I do not believe in good faith that I can act with undivided loyalty to The Catholic University of America.

I shall disclose any actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest I or a family member (defined to include a spouse, child or household member) may have, including, but not limited to, any known material financial interest in or position of authority with, or presumed benefit from any entity (including other religious, educational or non-profit entities) that I know to have a current or proposed transaction or business arrangement with The Catholic University of America. "Material financial interest" as used here includes any uncompensated position as a director, officer or trustee. A financial interest is presumed to be material if it entails:

1. Any ownership or investment interest (including stock, options, a partnership interest or any other ownership or investment interest) valued at more than $10,000, except equity in a publicly traded company amounting to less than a 5% ownership interest in the company;
2. Receipt of non-dividend compensation (including salary, consulting fees, royalty payments, or other remuneration) of more than $10,000 in any 12 month period in the past 3 years, or the expectation of such compensation in the future;
3. Real property, personal property, intellectual property or any other interest valued at $10,000 or more; or
4. A position of real or apparent authority in an outside entity (including religious, educational or other non-profit entities), such as director, officer, trustee or Partner, whether or not such position is compensated.

A trustee is not deemed to have a material financial interest in a publicly-traded entity by reason of an investment in that entity by another publicly-traded entity, such as through a mutual fund, of which the trustee does not control investment decisions. Each trustee has an ongoing obligation to notify the Board promptly of any actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest as it arises.

I have received and read a copy of The Catholic University of America Board of Trustees Conflict of Interest Policy. I affirm that, other than the interests reported in the following questionnaire, I am aware of no actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest (including known interests of family members), including no known material financial interest within the meaning of the Conflict of Interest Policy in any entity that I know to have a current or proposed transaction or business arrangement with The Catholic University of America.
