Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
FIRST CLASS TRAVEL IS MADE AVAILABLE TO BOARD MEMBERS IF THE FLIGHT IS OVER 3 HOURS. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO SUCH BOARD MEMBERS IF UTILIZED. UNDER RANDY FRISCH'S EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, HE WAS REIMBURSED FOR CERTAIN EXPENSES FOR HOUSING RECEPTIONS AND CONDUCTING UNIVERSITY RELATED BUSINESS IN HIS RESIDENCE. SUCH AMOUNT IS INCLUDED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION.
PART I, LINE 7
OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR BONUSES. BONUSES ARE AWARDED WITHIN A SPECIFIED RANGE IN THE DISCRETION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND ARE BASED ON ACHIEVING GOALS.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
