If the conflict of interest arises in connection with the activities of any deliberative body (e.g., the board of trustees), the individual with the conflict must immediately disclose the conflict to the other members of the body and the individual must not participate in the deliberation, consideration or vote on the transaction or matter at issue. A notation must be made in the minutes of any meeting at which deliberation, consideration or vote on the transaction or matter at issue is undertaken indicating that the individual with a conflict or potential conflict of interest was excused from the meeting during the time consideration of the transaction or matter was undertaken, took no part in any discussion pertaining to the transaction or matter and refrained from voting on the transaction or matter. |
