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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 1a · Housing allowance or residence for personal use
  • 1a · Health or social club dues or initiation fees
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment

  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1B
PART I, LINE 1B ALTHOUGH A WRITTEN POLICY DOES NOT EXIST, THE UNIVERSITY'S BOARD APPROVES THE HOUSING ALLOWANCE AND SOCIAL CLUB PAYMENTS.
