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: To facilitate its 24 hour security coverage for Dr. Robertson, Regent University provides charter air service for his business and personal flights. The University reports taxable income for Dr. Robertson's personal flights on his form 1099. It uses the Standard Industry Fair Level (SIFL) method as allowed under IRS rules for valuing personal flights. Travel for Companions : Regent University does not provide companion air travel for non-business purposes. Housing allowance: Regent University provides a ministerial housing allowance for qualified faculty and staff. This is reviewed and approved by the board.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
Regent University regularly reviews the compensation of its officers and vice presidents to determine whether compensation is reasonable compared to similar positions of responsibility at other institutions. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (in the absence of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee will assume this role) will periodically conduct an independent review of compensation which include the President along with officers and vice presidents. The process includes securing comparable compensation data from an independent source, reviewing the data to ensure that the compensation is reasonable and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision-making process takes place. Furthermore, when Regent University hires a new office or vice president, it will ensure that all compensation is reasonable compared to similar positions of responsibility at other institutions.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4
Psychology faculty member, previous Provost of the university, has been receiving retirement payments according to a previously agreed upon contract. Upon his death, his wife will continue receiving these payments according to a previously agreed upon contract.

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.
