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 3
COMPENSATION POLICY FORM 990, SCH J, PART I, LINE 3 GUIDING PRINCIPLES THE CSU INSTITUTE BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE "BOARD") MEMBERS RECEIVE COMPENSATION FROM THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. THIS COMPENSATION IS SET BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES ("TRUSTEES"). THE BOARD MEMBERS PER SE RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FROM THE CSU INSTITUTE. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE TRUSTEES TO COMPENSATE ALL CSU EMPLOYEES IN A MANNER THAT IS FAIR, REASONABLE, COMPETITIVE, AND FISCALLY PRUDENT IN RESPECT TO SYSTEM BUDGET AND STATE FUNDING. THE GOAL OF THE CSU CONTINUES TO BE TO ATTRACT, MOTIVATE, AND RETAIN THE MOST HIGHLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS TO SERVE AS FACULTY, STAFF, AND EXECUTIVES, WHOSE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, AND CONTRIBUTIONS CAN ADVANCE THE UNIVERSITY'S MISSION. THE CSU ADHERES TO COMPENSATION PRACTICES THAT ARE FAIR AND EQUITABLE IN DESIGN, APPLICATION, AND DELIVERY. IMPLEMENTATION THE CSU WILL CONSISTENTLY EVALUATE COMPETITIVE AND FAIR COMPENSATION FOR ALL EMPLOYEES BASED ON PERIODIC MARKET COMPARISON SURVEYS AND THE DEPTH OF SKILL AND EXPERIENCE OF AN INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE. IN ADDITION, THE CSU WILL MAINTAIN AND UPDATE ANNUALLY A TIERED LIST OF CSU COMPARISON INSTITUTIONS FOR APPLICABLE EMPLOYEE GROUPS. THE LIST MAY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, ENROLLMENT, PERCENT OF PELL ELIGIBLE STUDENTS, BUDGET, RESEARCH FUNDING, AND SUCH OTHER VARIABLES AS DEEMED APPROPRIATE. COMPENSATION WILL BE GUIDED WITH REFERENCE TO THE MEAN AND/OR MEDIAN OF THE APPROPRIATE TIER OF COMPARISON INSTITUTIONS, TOGETHER WITH AN INDIVIDUAL'S REPUTATION, AND LENGTH, DEPTH AND EFFECTIVENESS OF APPLICABLE EXPERIENCE, AND OTHER MERITORIOUS ACHIEVEMENT AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SUCCESS OF THE CSU. THE COMPENSATION SYSTEM FOR THE CSU SHALL (A) BE ADMINISTERED IN A MANNER THAT COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS AND LAWS, AND (B) BE CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES, RULES AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS. PRESIDENTIAL COMPENSATION WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL VACANCY OCCURS, THE SUCCESSOR PRESIDENT'S SALARY SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE INCUMBENT'S SALARY BY MORE THAN 10%. ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE INCUMBENT'S SALARY SHALL BE BASED UPON CRITERIA SUCH AS EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES, KNOWLEDGE AND/OR EXPERIENCE OR ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE AND ADVANCE THE UNIVERSITY'S MISSION. A PRESIDENT'S SALARY MAY ONLY BE FUNDED WITH STATE FUNDS. THE CHANCELLOR SHALL HAVE AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE RECOMMENDED STARTING SALARIES FOR PRESIDENTS. THE CHANCELLOR SHALL PRESENT THE RECOMMENDED SALARY TO THE TRUSTEES FOR APPROVAL. PRESIDENTIAL SALARY ASSESSMENT: CURRENTLY, THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW OF PRESIDENTS REQUIRE ANNUAL REVIEWS WITH THE CHANCELLOR AND TRIENNIAL REVIEWS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. IN THESE REVIEWS, THE PRESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE IS REVIEWED AGAINST THE GOALS AND CRITERIA FOR LEADERSHIP EXPECTATIONS. EFFECTIVE WITH BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEWS OCCURRING IN 2020 AND BEYOND, A PRESIDENTIAL SALARY ASSESSMENT WILL ALSO BE CONDUCTED THAT CONSIDERS PRESIDENTIAL PERFORMANCE, THE MARKET DATA AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE TRUSTEES IF A COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT MAY BE WARRANTED. A SALARY ADJUSTMENT DURING TRIENNIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEWS DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE INCUMBENT FROM BEING ELIGIBLE FOR THE ANNUAL MERIT INCREASE PROGRAM AS PROVIDED TO OTHER NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES. THE BOARD RETAINS THE RIGHT TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS NECESSARY AT OTHER TIMES FOR A PRESIDENT WHEN A SIGNIFICANT EQUITY OR RETENTION ISSUE IS IDENTIFIED. THE CHANCELLOR SHALL RECOMMEND PRESIDENTIAL SALARY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES FOR APPROVAL.
