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)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions
ON OCCASION, IT IS AN APPROPRIATE PART OF COLLEGE ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING FUNDRAISING) FOR THE PRESIDENT'S SPOUSE TO ACCOMPANY HER ON TRIPS. THESE ARE NOT FREQUENT, ARE RELATED TO THE EXEMPT PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE AND ARE NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use
THE COLLEGE REQUIRES THE PRESIDENT TO LIVE IN A COLLEGE-PROVIDED HOUSE ON CAMPUS. THE HOUSE IS USED SUBSTANTIALLY FOR COLLEGE-RELATED PURPOSES INCLUDING MEETINGS AND MEALS WITH STUDENTS AND FACULTY, MEETINGS AND MEALS WITH ALUMNI AND DONORS, AND OTHER SIMILAR EVENTS. NONE OF THIS BENEFIT WAS TREATED AS TAXABLE INCOME TO THE PRESIDENT, HOWEVER, THE RENTAL FOR THE PERSONAL PORTION OF THE HOUSE (APPROXIMATELY $42,000) IS TREATED AS A NON-TAXABLE BENEFIT. DURING FY2024 THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE WAS BEING REMODELED AND TEMPORARY HOUSING WAS PROVIDED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO CAMPUS. FOR THIS REASON, THERE WERE NO HOUSING BENEFITS INCLUDED IN THE NON-TAXABLE BENEFITS FOR THE PRESIDENT IN CALENDAR YEAR 2023.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or social club dues or initiation fees
THE COLLEGE PAYS A PORTION OF COUNTRY CLUB DUES FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADVANCEMENT. THIS MEMBERSHIP IS MAINTAINED SO THE COUNTRY CLUB CAN BE USED SOLELY FOR COLLEGE EVENTS AND THE PAYMENT IS NOT CONSIDERED TAXABLE COMPENSATION.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment
DURING THE YEAR THE INTERIM VICE PRESIDENT STUDENT AFFAIRS SIGNED A SEVERANCE AGREEMENT AND PAYMENT OF $90,000 UPON LEAVING THE COLLEGE. The Director of Athletics signed a severance agreement and payment of $62,587 upon leaving the college.

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.
