Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a	Voting Board Members The affairs of the Corporation are managed and controlled by a Board of Trustees, consisting of forty-five (45) regular members who serve for terms of five (5) years each. During the July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015 fiscal year, there were three (3) Life Trustees serving on the Board of Trustees. The President of the University also serves as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees. Each of these members of the Board of Trustees has the power to vote. During the intervals between meetings of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee possesses and may exercise all the powers of the Board in the management and direction of the business and affairs of the Corporation in all cases in which specific direction has not been given by the Board. The Bylaws of the Corporation provide that the Executive Committee shall consist of the Chairman of the Board and the President ex officio and not less than seven (7) additional members chosen from the membership of the Board. All of the members of the Executive Committee are voting members of the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1b	Independent Board Members The President of the University, who serves as an ex officio voting member of the board of trustees, is compensated as an officer of the corporation, and is thus the only member of the corporation's governing body who is not considered to be "independent."
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2	Family and Business Relationships Members of the Board of Trustees Carolyn T. McAfee and J. Thomas McAfee III have a family relationship (mother and son). Mercer University owns stock in MidCountry Financial Corp. Mercer University President William D. Underwood serves on the MidCountry Financial Corp. Board of Directors, and MidCountry Financial Corp President and Chief Executive Officer Robert F. Hatcher serves as a member of the Board of Trustees. MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RICHARD A. SCHNEIDER IS A PARTNER IN THE LAW FIRM OF KING & SPALDING, LLP; AND LIFE TRUSTEE ROBERT L. STEED IS A RETIRED PARTNER IN THE LAW FIRM OF KING & SPALDING, LLP. KING & SPALDING, LLP REPRESENTS MERCER UNIVERSITY IN VARIOUS LEGAL MATTERS FROM TIME TO TIME .
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B	REVIEW OF FORM 990 Prior to filing, the Form 990 was reviewed in detail by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, and a copy of the finalized Form 990 was then distributed to all members of the Board of Trustees prior to filing.
form 990, part vi, section b, line 12c	Monitor and Enforce Compliance with Written Conflict of Interest Policy At each annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, each Trustee, officer, and key employee of the University is required (a) to review the institution's Conflict of Interest Policy for Trustees, Officers, and Key Employees; (b) to disclose any possible personal, familial or business relationships that reasonably could give rise to a conflict of interest involving the University; and (c) to acknowledge by his or her signature that he or she is in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Conflict of Interest Policy. All Trustees, officers and key employees are required to list on a Disclosure Form for Trustees, Officers, and Key Employees those substantive relationships that they maintain (or members of their families maintain) with organizations that do business with the University, or that otherwise could be construed to potentially affect their independent, unbiased judgment in light of their decision-making authority or responsibility. In the event a Trustee, officer or key employee is uncertain as to the appropriateness of listing a particular relationship, the Chair of the Board of Trustees and/or the President is consulted. They, in turn, may elect to consult with legal counsel, the Executive Committee, or the Board of Trustees in executive session. These disclosure forms are collected by the Secretary of the Corporation, and copies are provided annually to the University's independent auditors. Trustees, officers, and key employees who have declared or been found to have a conflict of interest are required to refrain from participating in consideration of proposed transactions, unless for special reasons the Board or administration requests information or interpretation. Persons with conflicts are not allowed to vote or be present at the time of the vote on such transactions. Whenever the Board of Trustees holds a meeting at which (a) a Trustee's, officer's, or key employee's financial interest in a matter is disclosed, (b) a determination regarding the existence of a conflict of interest is made, or (c) a transaction or arrangement with respect to which a Trustee, officer, or key employee has a conflict of interest is considered, the Board's consideration of these issues is documented in the minutes of the meeting. In the interim between annual meetings, each Trustee, officer, and key employee has an ongoing obligation to notify the Board of Trustees promptly of any actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest as it arises.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a & 15B	DETERMINING COMPENSATION The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has established a Compensation Committee, comprised of the Chair of the Board of Trustees, the Chair of the Executive Committee, and the Chair of the Finance, Investment and Property Committee, each of whom is an independent voting member of the University's governing body. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee establishes the compensation arrangements for the President of the University, and also reviews the compensation arrangements for each University officer and other key employee who is in a position to exercise substantial influence over the affairs of the University to ensure that such compensation arrangements are reasonable. In carrying out this process, the Compensation Committee obtains and relies upon appropriate comparability data and concurrently documents the basis for its deliberations and decisions. No person having a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement for any University officer or key employee is present during the discussion and approval of such compensation arrangements.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	Making Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest Policy, and Financial Statements Available to the Public. The University makes its governing documents (i.e., Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws) and its conflict of interest policy available to the general public by posting them on the institution's Web site (http://www.mercer.edu). On an annual basis, the University makes its audited financial statements available to the general public by continuing disclosure through the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) (http://emma.msrb.org).
