Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE SCHEDULE O.DICKINSON COLLEGE, FOUNDED IN 1783, IS A HIGHLY SELECTIVE, PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE KNOWN FOR ITS INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM. FOR MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES, DICKINSON HAS EMBRACED THE VISION OF AN EVER-EVOLVING EDUCATION, AN EDUCATION THAT PREPARES RISING GENERATIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL, ACTIVE, INFORMED LIVES AS GLOBAL LEADERS.

  • EDUCATING STUDENTS - DICKINSON COLLEGE IS COMMITTED TO MAKING A TOP-TIER EDUCATION IN THE LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES ACCESSIBLE REGARDLESS OF FAMILIES' ECONOMIC MEANS. ALL ADMITTED STUDENTS FROM THE MOST RECENT ENTERING CLASS, WHO DEMONSTRATED FINANCIAL NEED AND WHO MET APPLICATION DEADLINES, WERE OFFERED AID. IN 2023-24, DICKINSON STUDENTS RECEIVED AN ESTIMATED $101,368,699 IN FINANCIAL AID, OF WHICH $84,955,014 WAS PROVIDED FROM THE COLLEGE'S FUNDS. STATE AND FEDERAL AID PROGRAMS, PARENT LOANS AND OTHER OUTSIDE SOURCES PROVIDED THE REMAINING FUNDS. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE OIN FALL 2023, THE COLLEGE EMPLOYED 220 FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT FACULTY. 90% OF FULL-TIME FACULTY MEMBERS HOLD A DOCTORATE OR OTHER TERMINAL DEGREE. OF THIS GROUP, FULL PROFESSORS COMPRISED 26%, ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS 36%, ASSISTANT PROFESSORS 32%, AND INSTRUCTORS 6%. THE STUDENT-TO-FACULTY RATIO FOR FALL 2023 WAS 9:1. TO SUPPORT ITS ACADEMIC, STUDENT LIFE AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS, THE COLLEGE ALSO EMPLOYS 314 PROFESSIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF PERSONNEL (ALL FT) AND 318 SUPPORT STAFF PERSONNEL (274 FT; 44 PT). DICKINSON CONTINUES TO RECEIVE FAVORABLE AND FREQUENT MEDIA ATTENTION AND ATTRACT GREATER LEVELS OF STUDENT INTEREST EACH YEAR. AS THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS AND THE QUALITY OF RECENT ENTERING CLASSES DEMONSTRATE, DICKINSON HAS A SECURE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION AS A TOP-QUALITY LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE. THE INCREASED LEVEL OF INTEREST THE COLLEGE HAS SEEN IN RECENT YEARS PUTS THE COLLEGE IN A GOOD POSITION TO CONTINUE TO ANALYZE AND BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROFILE OF STUDENTS WHO ENROLL AND REMAIN AT DICKINSON IN ORDER TO IMPROVE SELECTIVITY, YIELD AND RETENTION.2,204 STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED FOR FALL 2023, INCLUDING 212 STUDENTS STUDYING OFF-CAMPUS AT THE COLLEGE'S CENTERS IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD. FOR FALL 2023, STUDENTS CAME FROM 43 U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES AND 44 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THE OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS ADMITTED 3,095 FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS REFLECTING AN ACCEPTANCE RATE OF 43%. FIRST-YEAR ENROLLMENT FIGURES REFLECT THE COLLEGE'S ONGOING COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC QUALITY (54% RANKED TOP 10% OF CLASS). THE 1-YEAR RETENTION RATE WAS 92%, AND 76% OF ENTERING FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS GRADUATED WITHIN FOUR YEARS. DICKINSON STUDENTS MAY SELECT EITHER OF TWO BROAD DEGREE ORIENTATIONS WITHIN THE CURRICULUM: THE BACHELOR OF ARTS OR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS ARE THE SAME IN EITHER CASE; ONLY STUDENTS WITH THE CONCENTRATION IN ONE OF THE NATURAL OR MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES MAY BE CANDIDATES FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE.

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)

PART I, LINE 1A
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COLLEGE'S TRAVEL POLICY, AN EXCEPTION TO STANDARD FARE AIR TRAVEL EXISTS FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WITH AIRTIME OVER SIX HOURS WITH PRIOR APPROVAL. THE PRESIDENT'S SPOUSE SERVES AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE COLLEGE AND FULFILLS A KEY ROLE BY PARTICIPATING IN COLLEGE ADVANCEMENT AND FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. TRAVEL RELATED TO THIS FUNCTION WAS REIMBURSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COLLEGE'S WRITTEN PROCUREMENT GUIDELINES. HOWEVER, THE COLLEGE HAS TAKEN A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH BY REPORTING ALL SPOUSAL TRAVEL AS TAXABLE INCOME AND PROVIDING A GROSS-UP PAYMENT TO THE PRESIDENT TO COVER THE TAX EFFECTS OF THE ADDITIONAL REPORTABLE COMPENSATION. COLLEGE OWNED HOUSING IS PROVIDED TO THE PRESIDENT AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. THE PRESIDENT'S HOUSE MANAGER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE HOUSE SECURE, WELL-MAINTAINED, AND PHYSICALLY AND AESTHETICALLY COMFORTABLE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. THIS PART-TIME POSITION IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING HOUSEKEEPERS, PROJECT CREWS, CATERING CREWS, OUTSIDE VENDORS PERFORMING WORK ON THE PROPERTY AND IN THE HOUSE, AND HOME REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT CREWS. THE FAIR VALUE OF HOUSING AND RELATED SERVICES ARE REPORTED IN COLUMN (D) AS NONTAXABLE COMPENSATION IN PART II FOR THE PRESIDENT.
