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
GEORGE FOX OWNS A HOME THAT IS SUITABLE FOR UNIVERSITY EVENTS AND FUNCTIONS THAT ARE HOSTED BY THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT AND HIS/HER SPOUSE. THE PRESIDENT IS PROVIDED WITH THIS HOUSING AND THE BENEFIT IS NOT INCLUDED IN TAXABLE INCOME. IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE INFLUENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, ARLINGTON CLUB DUES ARE PAID FOR THE PRESIDENT. THE ARLINGTON CLUB PROVIDES A FORUM FOR NETWORKING WITHIN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO FIND PEOPLE INTERESTED IN INVESTING TIME AND RESOURCES IN HIGHER EDUCATION. DUES PAID ARE NOT INCLUDED IN TAXABLE INCOME. THE PRESIDENT'S SPOUSE'S ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR SOME EVENTS AND FUNCTIONS. TRAVEL FOR THOSE EVENTS/FUNCTIONS IS CONSIDERED TO BE AN ORDINARY AND NECESSARY BUSINESS EXPENSE FOR THE PRESIDENT'S SPOUSE TO ACCOMPANY HIM AND THEREFORE IS NOT INCLUDED IN TAXABLE INCOME.
