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
- THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE RECEIVED A HOUSING ALLOWANCE AND AUTO ALLOWANCE AS A PART OF HIS COMPENSATION CONTRACT. IT IS INCLUDED IN HIS TAXABLE INCOME.
- PART I, LINE 4B
- DR. GEORGE J. HAGERTY HAD A SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN UNDER SECTION 457(F) TOTALING $27,243 DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2024. THIS DEFERRED AMOUNT IS REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C).
- PART I, LINE 7
- THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL BONUS IS BASED UPON AN ASSESSMENT DONE BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS PART OF HIS ANNUAL ASSESSMENT. IT IS NOT SET IN AMOUNT, BUT IS DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF ASSESSMENT BY THE COMMITTEE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE GOALS PROVIDED AND RESULTS ACHIEVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND THE COLLEGE. WHILE THE PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE COLLEGE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE COMMITTEE'S ASSESSMENT, IT IS ONE OF SEVERAL FACTORS INVOLVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD HAS INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWED THE COMPENSATION LEVEL AND ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION FOR THE DEAN OF STUDENT SUCCESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMPENSATION PROVIDED FOR THE DEAN'S PEERS AND DIRECTED THE PRESIDENT TO COMPENSATE THE DEAN ACCORDING TO THE BOARD'S DETERMINATIONS. THIS BONUS IS NOT TIED TO SPECIFIC FINANCIAL COMPONENTS.
