Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment fundsThe endowments are used as scholarships or grants for students attending the university.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteThe University is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The University has also been recognized by the California Franchise Tax Board as exempt from California franchise and income taxes under Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The University has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The University follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The University has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
