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
-First-class travel - The College pays for the class above economy for all domestic and international travel for the President and Chief Investment Officer per employment contract. - Travel for Companions - The College pays for expenses for the President's spouse's travel as covered per contract with valid business reason. - Housing allowance or residence for personal use - The College provides housing to the president and a key employee as a condition of employment. The value of the employer provided housing has been determined to meet the criteria of Sec 119 and is therefore reported as a non-taxable benefit. The college also provides housing to a key employee that is included as a taxable benefit. - Health or social club dues - The College pays dues to a social club for the sole purpose of conducting college business; no personal social activities are allowed. Because no personal social activities are conducted, the dues are not included in taxable compensation.
Part I, Line 4b
-Hiram Chodosh participates in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under section 457(f). In 2023, contributions to the plan were made in the amount of $52,662, and distributions were made from the plan in the amount of $330,839.
Part I, Line 7
The College paid one-time performance related bonuses to certain individuals. The College also paid a one-time retention bonus to the President that was approved by the Compensation and Personnel Subcommittee of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.

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.
