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- The President's spouse attends the annual meeting of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) because there is a spousal component of the meeting. This is not included in taxable compensation; Tax indemnification and Gross-Up Payments- This is done on a rare occasion and for very small amount, usually to correct an error. Housing Allowance or Residence for Personal Use- The President receives a housing allowance as part of his compensation package and it is included in his taxable compensation. Health or Social Club Dues or Initiation Fees- The University pays dues for social club memberships for the President and Vice President of University Advancement. The memberships are used for business purposes of the University.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4
Walter Iwanenko 457(f) plan $20,000.

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.
