Answer:
The "web" that is mentioned in the passage refers to the burial shroud woven by Penelope as a way of delaying her need to chose a new husband among the many suitors.
Explanation:
Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" tells the story of how Odysseus had been gone from his home for about two decades. His wife had been pestered continuously by the men in the kingdom of Ithaca to remarry and make a new king, for her husband Odysseus had been gone for a long time.
But the cunning Penelope made a plea that she be allowed to weave a burial shroud for her father in law Leartes, who's grown old. She agreed to marry one of the suitors when she finished the shroud. But through cunning and bravery, she would weave the shroud during the day but undo it at night so that the weaving cannot be ever finished until she is sure that Odysseus is back or confirmed dead. This is the web that the passage from Book II mentions, the web being the shroud that she had been weaving as an excuse to not remarry.

Conflict of interest is important to consider, especially if there are industry professionals on the board who might be looking for free student labor or additional contracts from the institution or members who sit on multiple Boards.
Transparency and accountability in decision-making. Minutes from the meetings should be publicly posted so that administrators, faculty, students can see what decisions were made and why.
Performance metrics. The Board of Governors should hold themselves to a high standard of performance and create benchmarks that demonstrate progress, so that institutional improvements are known and measured. The governors should evaluate their own performance.
Review of the Head of Institution. Just as it is important to undertake self-review, it is also important to provide honest feedback to the leader of the institution, so that he or she is held accountable for the day-to-day running of the school.
