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.

Schedule J

  • 1a · Housing allowance or residence for personal use
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1B
WRITTEN POLICY THE BENEFITS SUMMARIZED IN PART I, LINE 1A FOR HOUSING ALLOWANCE OR RESIDENCE FOR PERSONAL USE ARE CONSIDERED NON-TAXABLE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT'S CONTRACT REQUIRES HER TO LIVE ON CAMPUS. BECAUSE THESE BENEFITS ARE LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT, A WRITTEN POLICY IS NOT CONSIDERED NECESSARY AS THESE BENEFITS ARE DEFINED IN THE PRESIDENT'S CONTRACT. HOWEVER, GALLAUDET HAS WRITTEN POLICIES SPECIFIC TO GENERAL TRAVEL, INCLUDING PROCEDURES FOR PRIOR APPROVAL AND PAYMENT/REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL EXPENSES.
PART II, COLUMN D
NONTAXABLE BENEFITS THE PRESIDENT IS REQUIRED TO LIVE ON CAMPUS AS PART OF HER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, AS A CONDITION OF HER EMPLOYMENT, IN ORDER TO CARRYOUT THE DUTIES OF HER ROLE, BE AVAILABLE ON A 24/7 BASIS, AND TO RESPOND TO EMERGENT SITUATIONS AS THEY ARISE. THIS COLUMN INCLUDES $60,000 REPRESENTING THE ESTIMATED RENTAL VALUE OF THE CAMPUS RESIDENCE.
PART II
AS PART OF HER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITH THE UNIVERSITY, THE PRESIDENT IS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE CERTAIN DEFERRED COMPENSATION PAYMENTS. THESE PAYMENTS WILL BE REFLECTED IN COLUMN (C) OVER THE LENGTH OF EACH CONTRACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRS INSTRUCTIONS UNTIL THE AMOUNT IS INCLUDED IN COLUMN (B)(III) AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT. DURING 2024, $75,000 WAS DEFERRED AND REPORTED IN COLUMN (C) OF SCHEDULE J.

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.
