Mission Statement	Form 990, Parts I and III, line 1	To educate students for a life of fulfillment and accomplishment. To create and translate knowledge to meet global and societal needs. This mission statement will inspire members of the University in whatever they do-as scholars, as teachers, as mentors, and as members of the Northeastern community. Northeastern's commitment to excellence, distinctiveness, and innovation led to the identification of five strategic themes that characterize the University's uniqueness: Experiential Learning, Interdisciplinary and Translational Research, Intellectual Life and Creative Expression, Urban Engagement, Global Opportunities. By concentrating efforts on these initiatives the University is better positioned to set priorities, make decisions, and focus resources that allow the institution to achieve its ambitions. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Other program services consist of: Research, academic support, student services, and cooperative education. Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Northeastern University's governing body delEgates broad authority to an executive committee, which may exercise the powerS of the board of trustees between the meetings of that body. All members of the Board of Trustees who are not appointed to serve on the Executive Committee shall be authorized to serve as alternates to the Executive Committee with full voting authority. The Secretary shall be authorized to select an alternatE whenever a member notifies the Secretary of his or her inability to attend any regular or special meeting of the Executive Committe. A majority of the members of the Executive Committee, including any alternate(s), shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the Executive Committee. Form 990, Part VI, Line 2 Edward G. Galante Alan S. McKim Business Relationship
Form 990, Part VI, Lines 7a & 7b		Members of the Corporation have the responsibility of electing members of the Corporation and the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B		The University's Form 990 review process is a collaborative effort. The core Form 990 and related schedules were reviewed by four committees of the Board of Trustees, senior management, an independent compensation consultant and a paid tax preparer. All feedback from the above parties was incorporated in the form. The Form 990 as filed is provided to the full board prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c		The Conflict of Interest Policy For Trustees, Overseers, Officers and Other Institutional Decision-Makers applies to all voting, lifetime and honorary members of the Board of Trustees; certain members of the Corporation; all officers; and all other Institutional Decision-Makers of Northeastern University. The policy requires that all Trustees, Officers and other Governing Board Members who serve on standing committees are required to adhere to a policy which requires disclosure in advance of any conflict; non-participation in decisions regarding the potential conflict; and an annual reporting of any conflicts for personal or third party involvement. The Secretary to the Board reviews the disclosures to determine whether any disclosures are sufficiently material that they should be brought to the attention of a sub-committee of the Trusteeship Committee. The sub-committee of the Trusteeship Committee shall determine whether any disclosed matter is of such significance that it merits reporting to the Board of Trustees or the Executive Committee. If so, the sub-committee shall recommend whether the disclosure requires approval or other action by the Board of Trustees or the Executive Committee. It shall be sole prerogative of the Board of Trustees or Executive Committee to approve or take other action related to a conflicts disclosure, including determining whether or not a transaction related to a disclosure should be permitted (if the transaction has not been finalized) or continued (if the transaction has already begun). Persons covered by this policy are required to refrain from making any decision about, and from participating in any consideration of, any transaction or other matter within the letter or spirit of this policy, except that he or she may respond to requests for information by the President or any disinterested Trustee concerning the matter. The Conflict of Interest and Commitment Policy in the Faculty Handbook applies to all members of Northeastern's faculty and research staff including faculty members serving as University officers (collectively referred to as 'the Faculty.') Annually, Faculty are required to submit a Conflict of Interest and Commitment Disclosure statement that requires disclosure of any relationships that would present the appearance of a conflict. These disclosure forms are reviewed by the Director of Institutional Audit, Compliance & Risk Services to determine whether any disclosures are sufficiently material that they should be brought to the attention of the appropriate College Dean for review. The policy provides College Deans with the primary responsibility for ensuring implementation of this policy and authority to review and approve exceptions to the policy. All employees are required to submit a Conflict of Interest and Commitment Disclosure statement that requires disclosure of any significant financial interest relationship as defined and disclosure of any gift over $100 from a single third party seeking benefit from the University. These disclosure forms are reviewed by the Director of Institutional Audit, Compliance & Risk Services to determine whether any disclosures are sufficiently material that they should be brought to the attention of the appropriate unit Dean, Vice-President or Director for review. The unit Dean, Vice-President or Director are responsible for reviewing the identified conflict and for resolving those conflicts appropriately.
