             Undertaking ­ Statement of Responsibilities and Expectations
                         Confidentiality/Collegiality/Conflicts

As a member of the Joint Board/Senate Advisory Committee to Select the Principal (the Committee), I
acknowledge that Committee members must be able to freely express their opinions within the Committee
about the issues they have been asked to review and consider. Similarly, those who communicate their
views to the Committee must be able to do so in confidence.

I recognize that I will have access to personal and confidential information and materials related to the
search and selection process, and with full knowledge of the critical importance of confidentiality to the
integrity and success of the process, I hereby agree to the following terms:

    ·   I will maintain the confidentiality of the deliberations of the Committee and any and all information
        relating to such deliberations;

    ·   I will maintain the confidentiality of all documents relating to the process and the work of the
        Committee;

    ·   I will keep confidential any personal information about every prospect and candidate which comes
        to me as a result of carrying out my responsibilities as a member of the Committee;

    ·   I will maintain the confidentiality of all written and oral information furnished to the Committee by
        any person or group;

    ·   I will not use, discuss or disclose any information to any person or entity on my own initiative;

    ·   I will retain, dispose of, or return, any search-related documents and records in a manner which
        protects confidentiality and informational privacy, and according to directions given to me by the
        University Secretary;

    ·   I agree that all communications on behalf of the Committee will be through the Chair of the
        Committee;

    ·   I will declare any potential or actual conflict of interest to the Chair of the Committee at the
        earliest opportunity.

    ·   I acknowledge that the obligation to maintain confidentiality described in this document exists
        both during the period that the Committee is active and thereafter;

    ·   I acknowledge that I may be removed from the Committee if I breach any of these confidentiality
        obligations. Such removal shall be by a majority vote of the Committee. I understand that even if
        removed, I am still bound by the terms of this Agreement.

I have read, understand, and agree to abide by, all of the terms of this Agreement as a condition of my
service as a Committee member.
