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
THE UNIVERSITY PAYS FOR CERTAIN TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT'S SPOUSE, ONLY WHEN THAT TRAVEL IS PRIMARILY FOR BONA FIDE BUSINESS PURPOSES OF THE UNIVERSITY. TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR THE PRESIDENT AND HER SPOUSE ARE APPROVED BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE HOUSING ALLOWANCE WAS RECEIVED BY THE UNIVERSITY'S PRESIDENT AND IS INCLUDED IN HER TAXABLE WAGES. SOCIAL CLUB DUES WERE PAID BY THE UNIVERSITY ON BEHALF OF AN OFFICER. THE DUES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE EMPLOYEE'S TAXABLE WAGES AS THE SOCIAL CLUB IS USED TO CONDUCT UNIVERSITY BUSINESS.
PART I, LINE 7
DURING AN EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE COMPLETED AN ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE PRESIDENT AND AGREED UPON A BONUS AMOUNT THAT REFLECTED HER PERFORMANCE DURING THE PRECEDING YEAR. CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON FORM 990, PART VII, SECTION A, LINE 1A RECEIVED BONUSES AS WELL.

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.
