Form 990 Review Process	Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b	Once a draft of the IRS Form 990 is completed and reviewed by our independent tax advisors, it is reviewed by both the Audit and Finance & Administration Committees of the Board of Trustees. It is then reviewed with the full Board of Trustees at its next meeting (starting in 2012 this will be the February meeting). The Form 990 is not filed until the full Board of Trustees has reviewed it with management.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement	Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c	The University has conflict of interest policies for the Board of Trustees, Officers, Key Employees, full-time staff, and part-time staff involved in purchasing. The Board of Trustees complete the conflict of interest disclosure form on an annual basis, and the disclosure forms are received and reviewed by the Trusteeship Committee. The results of the review are then reported to the Board's Executive Committee, which in turn reports the results to the full Board of Trustees. The process, review and reporting for the Officers and Key Employees is the same as the Board of Trustees. All full-time staff and part-time staff involved in purchasing complete a disclosure form annually, and these are collected and reviewed by the Associate Vice President-Administration. He then reports the findings to the Senior Vice President-Administration & Finance and the President of the University. A report is then made by the Senior Vice President-Administration & Finance to the Finance and Administration Committee of the Board, which then reports the findings to the full Board of Trustees.
Process for Determining Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a	It is the policy of the Widener University and its Board of Trustees (Board) to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to experience, service and accomplishment both prior to, and during, their service to the university. The Board's use of CUPA and similar indices is for guidance purposes, taking into consideration that the positions reported therein are not, in many instances, equivalent to the executive positions at the University. Thus, when an individual executive acquires additional responsibilities above and beyond those traditionally associated with the general category set forth in the comparative indices, the Board may consider and award appropriate compensation. Exceptions to this policy can occur where special expertise, accomplishment or experiences are required in a particular position or an urgent need has arisen justifying, in the Board's analysis, compensation at a level in excess of the policy range adopted by the Board. When such exceptions arise, the Board shall set forth a statement of their reasoning supporting the departure from the established Executive Compensation Policy. Finally, the Board, in every third year, will engage an outside consultant to verify that total compensation paid to the executives of the University is fair and reasonable.
How Documents are Made Available to the Public	Form 990, Part VI, Line 19	The University makes available to the public on its website the university's Articles of Incorporation, the conflict of interest policy, the executive compensation policy, the Form 990, the Form 990-T and the University's audited financial statements.
