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.

First class travel costs are not considered taxable compensation. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS - Travel costs of companions of university trustees, officers, and key employees are reimbursed in limited circumstances and such reimbursement is considered taxable income to the trustee, officer, or key employee unless the companion's travel would otherwise be considered deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. Any such taxable reimbursements to companions of university officers are included in Schedule J, Part II, column (B)(iii). TAX INDEMNIFICATION & GROSS UP PAYMENTS - Tax gross-up payments, considered taxable compensation, were provided to 1 officer and/or key employees listed in Part II of Schedule J for years of service recognition awards/gifts. HOUSING ALLOWANCE OR RESIDENCE FOR PERSONAL USE - The university requires the president and provost to reside in specific campus housing. The estimated fair rental value of the personal living space, including utilities, is not considered taxable income since on-campus residency is an employment requirement imposed by the university.

In addition, certain facilities staff are responsible for the maintenance of those buildings and grounds; while other staff are responsible for various activities and meetings hosted at those properties. Neither the allocable costs of those staff nor incidental personal benefit of hosted activities/meetings are considered taxable compensation.HEALTH OR SOCIAL CLUB DUES OR INITIATION FEES - Certain employees have golf memberships at the university owned golf course. The value of these dues are taxed and reported on Schedule J, Part II, column B(iii).

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.
