Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThe San Jose State University President, who is a board director of the Foundation, has the sole authority to appoint the board members for the Foundation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Tower Foundation's audit committee reviews the Form 990 in detail with Tower management. Minutes kept for the audit committee document the process.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe conflict of interest policy and related disclosure statement is reviewed on an annual basis at the Tower Foundation audit committee meeting in September. The committee recommends any change to the policy and disclosure form. This policy and the disclosure form are then presented at the December meeting to Tower board members. All board members are required to complete the disclosure form and the forms are collected by Tower management. If there are any disclosed conflicts, they are addressed at the subsequent audit committee meeting and presented to the board as appropriate.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Organization's CEO, officers and key employees are generally compensated by San Jose State University, a related organization of the Tower Foundation. Therefore, the Tower Foundation has not established compensation policies for these individuals. However, San Jose State University determines compensation for the Tower Foundation's CEO, officers and key employees based on review and approval by independent persons and comparability data. The process and decisions are contemporaneously documented.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Audited financial statements and conflict of interest policy are available on the organization's website. Governing documents are available upon request.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1A, Column D:CSU policy requires that stipend payments by an auxiliary to a CSU employee be made through the auxiliary's payroll.
