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
THE UNIVERSITY PAID COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF $6,619,613 TO THE JESUIT COMMUNITY, THE FOUNDERS OF BOSTON COLLEGE, FOR INSTRUCTIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES, WHICH INCLUDE THE SERVICES RENDERED BY THE UNIVERSITY'S JESUIT OFFICERS. SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A FIRST CLASS TRAVEL OR CHARTER TRAVEL: BOSTON COLLEGE DOES NOT GENERALLY PERMIT FIRST CLASS TRAVEL FOR BUSINESS TRIPS. HOWEVER, ON OCCASION FOR UNUSUALLY LONG FLIGHTS IT MAY BE PERMITTED PROVIDED THERE IS APPROVAL IN ADVANCE. AS PART OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES, THREE HIGHEST COMPENSATED EMPLOYEES FLEW ON CHARTER FLIGHTS AND ONE OFFICER FLEW FIRST CLASS. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS: PER UNIVERSITY POLICY COMPANION TRAVEL IS NOT REIMBURSABLE OR NON TAXABLE UNLESS PRIOR APPROVAL IS OBTAINED AND THERE IS A VALID BUSINESS PURPOSE. TWO HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN PART VII RECEIVED COMPANION TRAVEL WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN TAXABLE COMPENSATION. HOUSING ALLOWANCE OR RESIDENCE FOR PERSONAL USE: ONE OFFICER RECEIVED ON-CAMPUS HOUSING BENEFIT DURING THE YEAR AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. THE RENTAL VALUE WAS NON TAXABLE. HEALTH OR SOCIAL CLUB DUES OR INITIATION FEES: ONE HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUAL AND ONE OFFICER RECEIVED AN ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP TO A LOCAL COUNTRY CLUB. THE FULL VALUE WAS INCLUDED IN EACH EMPLOYEE'S TAXABLE COMPENSATION. SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1B BOSTON COLLEGE HAS POLICIES THAT COVER FIRST CLASS TRAVEL AND TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS. SUCH TRAVEL IS GENERALLY NOT PERMITTED BUT IS APPROVED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS AT THE VP LEVEL. SOCIAL CLUB DUES ARE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRACTS OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE THE BENEFIT AND ARE APPROVED. SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B AND 7 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEFERRED PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS: IN 2015 BOSTON COLLEGE ESTABLISHED A PERFORMANCE COMPENSATION PLAN ("PLAN") TO ASSIST WITH RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF ITS INVESTMENT OFFICE PROFESSIONALS. UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, PARTICIPANTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR CERTAIN AWARDS BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF BOSTON COLLEGE'S INVESTMENTS EACH CALENDAR YEAR, AS MEASURED BY CERTAIN QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FACTORS. A PORTION OF THE AWARD UNDER THE PLAN IS SUBJECT TO A TWO YEAR DEFERRAL PERIOD. FOR 2024, THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER'S COMPENSATION INCLUDED A BONUS PAYMENT UNDER THE PLAN INCLUDED ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(II). THE AMOUNT INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II COLUMN (F) REPRESENTS COMPENSATION THAT WAS REPORTED AS DEFERRED IN A PRIOR YEAR THEN PAID IN 2024 AND INCLUDED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II COLUMN (B)(II). SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 THE UNIVERSITY OFFERS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION TO CERTAIN INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS BASED UPON THE UNIVERSITY'S INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. SEE RESPONSE TO QUESTION 4B ABOVE. TWO INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II RECEIVED A MERIT BASED BONUS AND THE AMOUNT OF THIS BONUS IS SHOWN ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(II).

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.
