The Jones School of Business launched an online MBA program, Mba@Rice, to deliver education to working professionals with extensive experience who may not have the option to study on campus. The university also offers online courses for credit and for life-long learning, both during the academic year and in summer sessions. To date, over 2 million learners have enrolled in computer science, engineering, physics, and other courses taught by Rice's award-winning faculty, and 90,000 learners have completed at least one online course. Rice University has an undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio of 6 to 1. In general, classes are small enough for each professor to know every student's name, so there is ample opportunity for personal attention. Rice is ranked among the top 20 nationally by the US News and World Report in the 2019 edition, and the Princeton Review ranked Rice No. 1 for "Happiest Students" and "Lots of Race/Class Interactions" in the 2018 edition, along with high rankings for "Best Quality Of Life" and "Best Health Services".

Undergraduate students are given free Metro passes for public transportation; including the light rail system which has two stations located a block from campus. The university operates free shuttle bus routes that each include the campus, off-campus graduate student housing, and local shopping centers and attractions. Houston boasts 189 museums, opera, ballet, symphony and theater, and four professional major league sports teams.

Other members of the faculty are invited to become resident and nonresident associates of each college. Faculty associates act as advisors to the students and participate in the camaraderie and activities of their respective college.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule C, Part II-B, Line 1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE LOBBYING ACTIVITY	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Other activities include dues paid to professional organizations which employ lobbyists. An insubstantial portion of the university's total activities are involved in legislative and regulatory matters of direct concern to higher education or of a compelling importance to Rice in particular. Institutional efforts to influence legislation are directed by the office of Public Affairs. The university does not have a lobbying office in Washington or Austin or employ anyone in those cities to engage in lobbying. During this period, the university did employ one full-time person whose primary assignment included federal and state lobbying activity and did employ an outside registered lobbying firm in Washington. Activities included contacts by letters, phone calls, and meetings with legislators, members of their staffs, or other governmental officials and meetings with local citizens regarding issues. The total amount spent by Rice in lobbying represents an insignificant part of the university's total expenditures , even taking into consideration the most generous allowances for any activities that may be defined as lobbying by Rice employees outside the office of public affairs working on behalf of the university. Rice also pays membership dues to associations of educational institutions and those organizations may in turn lobby on behalf of the interests of their members.	ExplanationTxt

Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections	The University accepts, from time to time, donations of art, historical treasures or similar assets. Such items are available for public exhibition and scholarly research. The University is a steward of these assets, preserving them for future generations. The asset amount reported for art held for public exhibition includes the construction and installation costs for outdoor sculpture.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds	The University's endowment earnings distribution policy guides the rate at which funds are released from the endowment for current spending. The policy reflects the desire to balance the current resource needs of the University with the long-term objective of preserving the purchasing power of the endowment for future generations and ensuring reasonable year-over-year stability of future endowment payouts. Under the policy, allowable endowment spending is between four percent and six and one-half percent of the trailing three year average endowment market value, with a targeted range of four and one-half percent to five and one-half percent in the intermediate range. Endowment contributions include Board-approved transfers from other institutional funds and other additions for which there is no specific line on the schedule.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The University is exempt from federal income tax to the extent provided under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The IRS issued a determination letter in January 1938 that recognized the University as exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3). The IRS confirmed in 2008 that this exemption still applies. The University has 10 subsidiary corporations that are included in the consolidated financial statements. Two of these subsidiary corporations are exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(2), one is exempt under 501(c)(3), one is exempt under 501(c)(4), four are exempt under 501(c)(25) and two are subject to taxation. The University is classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code because it is described in Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(ii) and, as such, gifts to the University qualify for deduction as charitable contributions to the extent provided by law. The University and its subsidiary corporations that are exempt from federal income tax are required to pay federal income tax on unrelated business income. The amount of income tax expense for unrelated business income for the University and its subsidiary corporations was immaterial for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Act) contained a provision affecting private colleges and universities with at least 500 tuition-paying students and assets of at least $500,000 per student. Because the University meets those criteria, beginning in fiscal 2019 it became part of a small group of universities that are subject to an excise tax of 1.4% on the University's net investment income and the net investment income of its subsidiary corporations. The excise tax is an expense that is recognized as a reduction of the University's investment returns. The University and its subsidiary corporations recorded an estimated income tax liability of $7,500 for the excise tax for the year ended June 30, 2019. The University has reflected the tax liabilities in the financial statements based on reasonable estimates under the currently available regulatory guidance on the Act. US GAAP requires the University to evaluate its tax positions to recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the University has taken an uncertain tax position that, more likely than not, would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The University has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of June 30, 2019, there are no significant uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken, apart from those impacted by the Act.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First-class or charter travel	The University's written travel policy permits payment only of necessary and reasonable expenses for travel on University business. The University's policies constitute an accountable plan and are designed to comply with applicable Internal Revenue Service rules. Coach class airfare is required except in certain limited circumstances; these include medical necessity, contractual obligations, and scheduled flight segments over six hours in length, when business class fares may be used with prior approval. In rare cases, when an exception applies and no business class fare is available, a first class fare may be used, again with prior approval and documentation. Charter travel is sometimes employed for athletics teams, including coaches, when such travel is the least costly method of transportation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions	Under the University's travel policy, the University does not pay the travel cost of companions, unless there is a valid University business purpose for the companion's travel. Written approval must be obtained in advance from the president, provost, or appropriate dean / vice president documenting the reason for incurring the expense. When the University uses chartered air or ground transportation, travel for companions may occasionally be included if the University incurs no additional cost.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Tax indemnification and gross-up payments	Under the terms of his contract, the President is provided with grossed up payments for dependent tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement of $22,833 was paid and grossed up to $32,240. The entire amount was taxable. Under the terms of the appointment letter, the Provost is provided with grossed up payments for dependent tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement of $8,720 was paid and grossed up to $11,527. The entire amount was taxable compensation.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowance or residence for personal use	The president of the University is required to occupy University-owned housing as a condition of employment. Housekeeping staff is provided for such property. The cost of such services not related to public areas of the house is included in compensation reported. The fair market value of the housing provided, based on the appraised value of the house, is reported in the president's compensation as a non-taxable benefit.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Health or social club dues or initiation fees	Social club dues were paid for the president of the University and included in compensation as appropriate.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Personal services	See the response to Schedule J, Part I, Line 1A for Housing
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation	The CORD (Compensation and Organizational Development) Committee of the Board of Trustees of Rice University has a procedure in place to assure the Board of Trustees that compensation arrangements for the president and other organization officers and managers are reasonable. The procedure is designed to comply with the requirements of Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code and Internal Revenue Service regulations. The CORD Committee maintains a roster of disqualified persons, as defined by the IRS, for whose compensation the procedure is used. The roster is reviewed periodically but at least annually. The procedure was last evaluated with the full board in March 2011. The procedure requires three elements as follows: 1) The terms of transactions are approved by the organization's governing body, or a committee thereof, whose members have no conflict of interest with respect to the arrangement. The Board of Trustees delegated authority to the CORD Committee to act on behalf of the Board in these matters at its meeting on March 25, 1999. Compensation arrangements are reviewed and approved by the CORD Committee before the effective date. Members of the CORD Committee recuse themselves from any vote in which there is a potential or actual conflict of interest. 2) The governing body or committee obtains and relies upon appropriate, comparable data before making its determination. Rice participates in the annual survey by Willis Towers Watson of select universities' executive compensation, and additional appropriate peer surveys. These reports reflect executive compensation in universities of a stature similar to that of Rice, and with which Rice competes for faculty and staff. The CORD Committee may also seek and rely on other relevant information, including compensation paid by other taxable and tax-exempt organizations for functionally comparable positions, geographic market forces, and actual written offers from similar institutions competing for services. The CORD Committee relies on this data and documents any determinations that reasonable compensation is an amount more than the range of comparable data. 3) The governing body or committee adequately documents the basis for making determinations concurrently with making decisions. Minutes documenting the deliberations of the CORD Committee are prepared contemporaneously for review and approval at its next meeting.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan	The following officer(s), director(s), trustee(s), key employee(s) and/or highest compensated employees participated in or received payment from a supplemental non-qualified retirement plan in calendar year 2018, subject to satisfying vesting conditions related to continuing service to the university. Award amounts that may or may or may not have vested are shown below. Amounts that became taxable during the year due to vesting or distribution are included in Part II, column B (iii). Accruals for awards that have not vested are included in the amounts shown in Part II, column C. David Leebron: $325,000 award; $386,433 distribution of a prior year award (of which $48,479 was taxable in the current year and $337,954 was taxable in a prior year); $450,000 accrual for awards not yet vested. Marie Lynn Miranda: $50,000 award; $41,667 accrual for awards not yet vested. Kevin Kirby: $50,000 award; $50,000 accrual for awards not yet vested.

Payments were made under such contracts in calendar year 2018 to David Leebron, Allison Thacker, Jaime Aguirre, Carmen Thompson, and Alan Arnold. Bonuses were paid to Marie Lynn Miranda, Kevin Kirby, Katherine Collins, Darrow Zeidenstein, Yvonne Romero da Silva, Klara Jelinkova, Linda Thrane, Caroline Levander, Joseph Davidson, Ronald Long, Bradley Fralic, Veta Byrd-Perez, and Renee Block.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body	A draft copy of Form 990 is discussed with the Audit Committee, a draft copy of compensation related disclosures (Part VII and Schedule J ) is shared with the Compensation and Organizational Development (CORD) Committee of the Board of Trustees and the final Form 990 is provided to all of the trustees before it is filed. The Form 990 is prepared by the Controller's Office in consultation with other University offices, reviewed within the Controller's office, the office of General Counsel and Human Resources, reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers as the paid preparer, reviewed by the Vice President for Finance and the President together with senior management before it is provided to the trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	A conflict of interest questionnaire is completed annually by officers, directors, trustees, key employees and other disqualified persons. Members of the University's Board of Trustees and senior management may, from time to time, be associated, either directly or through interlocking board memberships, with entities doing business with the University. The University employs a conflict of interest policy that requires any such associations be disclosed in writing on an annual basis. When such associations exist, measures are taken to mitigate any actual or perceived conflict, including recusal of the board member from any decisions involving the entity doing business with the University. The transactions with the entities associated with trustees or senior management are not considered to be significant and may include investment management, common participation in investment vehicles, or the purchases of goods or services. When the University enters into such transactions, the prices are set at fair market value and the terms are no less beneficial than those offered to others in the ordinary course of business.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	Compensation of the organizations' officers is determined by the CORD Committee of the Board of Trustees based on comparability data.
