WARNER PACIFIC UNIVERSITY CONTINUES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR DIVERSITY AND VALUE. IT IS THE MOST DIVERSE UNIVERSITY IN OREGON, AND THE ONLY CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY WITH A MINORITY-SERVING MISSION IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WPU WAS OREGON'S FIRST FOUR-YEAR SCHOOL TO EARN THE PRESTIGIOUS HISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI) DESIGNATION FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND ALSO ATTAINED THE PRESTIGIOUS FEDERAL DESIGNATION OF ASIAN AMERICAN, NATIVE AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER-SERVING INSTITUTION (AANAPASI). THE UNIVERSITY HAS ALSO RECEIVED ACCLAIMED RANKINGS BY THE U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT'S BEST COLLEGES IN THE REGIONAL WEST 2026 EDITION; EARNING #1 AS TOP PERFORMER IN SOCIAL MOBILITY; #7 IN OVERALL BEST VALUE; AND #6 (OUT OF 97) IN OVERALL REGIONAL COLLEGES IN THE WEST. WE ARE PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THE RANKING IN THE SOCIAL MOBILITY CATEGORY AS IT RECOGNIZES THAT ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY THAN OTHERS TO FINISH COLLEGE, EVEN WHEN CONTROLLING FOR OTHER CHARACTERISTICS. BECAUSE OF OUR ROLE IN SERVING AS A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS FOR MINORITY AND FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS, IN THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR WPU WAS CHOSEN TO RECEIVE A HISTORIC TITLE V GRANT BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THE FIRST UNIVERSITY IN OREGON TO HAVE RECEIVED SUCH AN AWARD. THE 5-YEAR GRANT WILL ALLOW WPU TO PROVIDE INCREASED SERVICES TO DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS INCLUDING TUTORING, MENTORING, LANGUAGE SUPPORT AND OTHER ASSISTANCE. STARTING IN THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, WPU WAS ALSO CHOSEN TO RECEIVE A HAWKINS GRANT BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO PROVIDE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BILINGUAL TEACHERS IN OREGON.

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.
