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
The University requires the President to live in on-campus housing and provides a custodian to clean the facility. The University maintains a Country Club membership in the President's name for entertainment of donors. It is acceptable that the President's spouse or significant other may accompany him on University business trips/events. During these trips/events, the expense of the spouse or significant other will be paid by the University.

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.
