Haden SAYS he recuses himself from all decisions regarding U$C. But, given that he doesn't ANSWER questions about boards on which he serves, and there is conflicting information in at least one instance, it's best summed up this way:
Through either direct giving, or foundation/charitable giving, U$C, through Haden, has a sh*t-ton of access to funding that all but ensures he needs to be caught in the sack with livestock to lose the U$C gig.
The guy is the pictorial definition of "conflict-of-interest". That he doesn't even acknowledge some of the questions is a pretty good indicator of the culture there.
Some of the numbers, i.e., salaries/payments to board members vs. charitable distributions, can be misleading. Still, to have BOTH Haden and his daughter getting compensation from the same non-profit/charitable foundation/organization SHOULD raise a red flag.
