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 — 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 University President is reimbursed for 50% of home cleaning services. The Home is used to host many of the University's events. As such, the portion of the cleaning costs reimbursed by the University are considered a business expense to the University and is not considered taxable income to the President. The President rents a home from the University in which he and his family reside. The rent is paid at fair market value.

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.
