Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Bryant University's mission is to educate and inspire students to discover their passion and become innovative leaders with character around the world.

  • Bryant University's academic programs are distinguished by an integration of business, STEM fields and the liberal arts with a global perspective and offer master's and bachelor's degrees, in addition to certificate programs. Located in Smithfield, Rhode Island, on approximately 465 acres the University provides academic, residential, and other services to a student population of approximately 3,240 undergraduate and 350 graduate students.

    Expenses $216,297,242 · Grants $84,692,537 · Revenue $186,033,337

  • Approximately 85% of the undergraduates and 90% of the freshmen reside on campus in the residence halls and townhouses. Living options at the University are designed to foster a gradual increase of independent lifestyle and individual responsibility. First-year students have the opportunity to establish relationships with large numbers of classmates in a more traditional setting. Sophomores and Juniors experiment with small-group living while eating in common areas with all resident students. Most seniors live independently in townhouse units with full responsibility for their cooking, cleaning, etc. All living areas include telephone, cable, and computer access. All students who live on campus, except for those in the townhouses, are required to participate in a meal plan. Bryant offers a number of plans to provide students with flexible options for on-campus dining at several locations.

    Expenses $24,795,988 · Revenue $47,777,869

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
As a condition of their employment, the University provided on-campus housing for President Gittell; Rupendra Paliwal (Provost and Chief Academic Officer); Inge-Lise Ameer (VP for Student Affairs and Dean of Students); and William Smith (VP of Athletics and Recreation). The University provides custodial services to maintain the housing. These amounts are included as non-taxable benefits in Part II. As a condition of employment, David Wegrzyn (VP for University Advancement), is reimbursed for social club expenses only when they are directly in furtherance of the University's business purpose, and thus are not treated as taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4
As a result of separation from the University, former VP for Business Affairs Barry F Morrison received a severance of $415,458 and Head Men's Basketball Coach Jared K Grasso received a severance of $56,708.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7
At-risk compensation award is based on the achievement of an objective and quantitative set of measurable goals which are mutually established between the President and eligible participants at the beginning of each fiscal year. The President makes his assessment of each participant's achievement of specific goals and presents his "at risk award" recommendation to the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees for final review and approval.
Schedule J, Part II
Column B(III) includes payments for group term life premiums and personal use of auto. Column C includes employer provided contributions to Section 403(B) plans and other deferred compensation plans. Column D includes non-taxable benefits including undergraduate tuition remission, employer health benefits, life insurance and disability benefit premium payments, as well as the value of on-campus housing provided to certain employees under the requirements of their employment contracts.

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.
