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 OR CHARTER TRAVEL - FIRST CLASS TRAVEL IS ONLY PERMITTED BY THE CURRENT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SINCE HE IS LOCATED IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA.

TRAVELS FOR COMPANIONS - FOR ONE BOARD MEETING A YEAR, SPOUSES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE INVITED TO ACCOMPANY HIS/HER SPOUSE TO THE CITY WHERE THE MEETING TAKES PLACE. MOST YEARS THE COLLEGE REIMBURSES THE TRUSTEE MEMBER FOR THE SPOUSE'S TRAVEL AND EACH TRUSTEE MEMBER IS PROVIDED AN IRS FORM 1099 FOR THAT REIMBURSEMENT. ON A LESS FREQUENT BASIS, SPOUSES OF EXECUTIVES ARE INVITED TO BOARD MEETINGS. THE COST OF THAT TRAVEL IS ADDED TO AN EMPLOYEE'S IRS FORM W-2.
