The Collin County Community
College District Board of Trustees has policies regarding
ethics, conflict of interest, and academic freedom that
ensure it operates and makes decisions regarding the College
without undue influence from political, religious, or other
external bodies (References
1, 2, 3).
Board members are active in
local communities as evidenced by their affiliations listed
on their brief resumes (Reference
4). When Trustees are elected, they sign an
Oath of Office (Reference 5) and
a notarized Statement of Elected Officer (Reference
6) affirming that they have not directly or indirectly
paid, offered, promised to pay, contributed, or promised to
contribute any money or thing of value, or promised any
public office or employment for the giving or withholding of
a vote at the election. In the event of a real or perceived
influence from political, religious or other external
bodies, individual Board members may recuse themselves from
discussion or voting. Examples of such action can be found
in Board minutes (Reference 7).
