Authorization of Application for Exemption
RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized and empowered, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to prepare and file the Application for Recognition of Exemption on Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 1023 with the IRS, together with all attachments and exhibits required.
RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the appropriate officers of the Corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized and empowered, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to make any changes to such Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, necessary to obtain the approval thereof by the IRS or any other governmental authority.
Compensation Principles
RESOLVED, in order to be good stewards of our financial and human resources, and to comply with general accepted principles and institutional policies, effective 7/1/2010 the Foundation Board has adopted the following principles about compensation of individuals working on Kuali and its projects:
- The Kuali Foundation complies with stated institutional policies for employees of each institution.
- For any compensation changes that are requested or initiated from a Kuali project, there will be full disclosure between the individual, that person’s supervisor at their institution, and the Kuali Project Manager.
- Kuali project planning should be based on the expectation of a standard 40-hr work week per FTE. The Kuali Foundation recognizes exempt staff often work more than 40 hours per week and that devoting extra hours is not sufficient cause for additional compensation of exempt employees.
- Completion of work by a tendered resource for a Kuali project according to the MoU is also not cause for additional compensation.
- There may be some cases where an individual takes on a significant additional responsibility well beyond the obligations of the MoU, and these cases may be considered for additional compensation by mutual agreement of the Project and the institution.
- In most cases, the additional compensation should be paid by the institution and reimbursed by Kuali, so as to ensure full transparency and compliance with institutional policies.
- Notwithstanding all of the above, for institutions that have merit- or performance-based employee assessment and/or compensation, employing institutions are encouraged to ensure full participation of Kuali Project management into the performance assessment of tendered resources. This is essential to ensure that employees engaged in Kuali projects are not disadvantaged by such participation and the potential lack of direct institutional supervision.
