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
- WESLEY FUGATE, PRESIDENT, HAS ON CAMPUS HOUSING AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT AND FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE EMPLOYER, THE PRESIDENT IS REQUIRED TO LIVE ON CAMPUS HOUSING. THEREFORE, NONE OF THE BENEFIT WAS TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE COLLEGE HOUSING IS USED FOR FUNDRAISING AND CAMPUS RELATED EVENTS. THE COLLEGE PAYS COUNTRY CLUB DUES AS WELL AS MEMBERSHIPS IN PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT. BECAUSE THESE DUES ARE RELATED TO FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, THEY WERE NOT TREATED AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION.
