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 First-class or charter travel
- Charter travel for our football team which included coach Jesse Burleson & Dr. Christopher McNair. The entire team flies on the charter so they flew with the team. It was considered business expense and not treated as taxable compensation.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use
- As a condition of employment, and as a convenience to the University, the President is provided a home on University grounds.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or social club dues or initiation fees
- The University provides social club dues as taxable compensation to the Provost & Chief Academic Officer and VP for Institutional Advancement.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Personal services
- The University also provides grounds care and housekeeping for the President's home since the President hosts functions for the University at his home. The home is provided as a nontaxable benefit to the President. The housekeeping is reported as a taxable benefit as it is done on a weekly basis.
