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
Housing is required as a condition of employment for the President and is provided as a taxable benefit. In limited circumstances, first-class accommodations are provided for the president and companion travel for bona-fide business purposes. The college pays membership dues to health and social clubs for use by certain officers for meetings and networking related to college business. The college does not directly indemnify individuals in regard to taxes; however, it has in some circumstances, grossed-up the benefit to offset a portion of the employee's taxable benefit.

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.
