Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The intended use of the restricted endowment funds are dictated by the donor which are predominantly for instructional purposes and scholarships. Earnings from unrestricted endowment funds are used for operations according to the spending policy established by the University's Board of Trustees.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The University accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The University has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as its only significant tax position; however, the University has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The University is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions. The University's federal tax return is generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 3Study abroad is an opportunity for students to continue the Roger Williams University education while living in another country. Study abroad is not merely a travel experience, but an academic experience (first and foremost) in an international setting. The study abroad programs are separately tracked in the University's general ledger system by activity and the amounts reported represent direct spending in foreign countries for tuition payments, lodging, travel and incidentals for students and faculty liaisons. The admissions recruiting and fundraising amounts are tracked primarily using the University's credit card system and represent travel, meals, and lodging costs for University employees conducting business in these regions. All expenses are under the accrual method of accounting.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1aHousing Allowance - A residence on the employer's premises is used for both University business functions and as a personal residence by the President for the convenience of the employer and is treated as nontaxable compensation. The value of the personal space within the residence is included as a nontaxable benefit on Schedule J. Health or social club dues - The University paid social club membership dues for the President. Since the use of the memberships were for business purposes it was not treated as taxable compensation. Personal Services - The University regularly cleans the President's residence and the value of the maintenance of the personal space is taxed accordingly.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4The President of Roger Williams University participated in a University 457(f) plan and $25,000 was accrued under the plan in calendar year 2016.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7For University non-aligned employees, merit based compensation may be granted as either a base salary increase or a one-time bonus. Qualifications for receiving a bonus include performance exceeding expectations or taking on additional duties due to staff vacancies or temporary absences. For the compensation of the University's President, the bonus amount (if any) is determined by an employment agreement along with a review and approval of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, who are all independent of the President. In the case of all other officers and other key employees, the bonus amount (if any) is determined via the same process as other compensation for officers and other key employees, including review by the University's President, who is independent of the other officers or key employees.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1To strengthen society through engaged teaching and learning. We inspire and educate students to lead fulfilled lives by ensuring they acquire and develop the knowledge, skills and habits of mind necessary to become reflective, responsible individuals who interact with society in mutually rewarding ways.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bIRS Form 990 is prepared by the Controller, VP for Accounting and Treasury Management and the Executive VP for Finance and Administration, along with assistance from the University Office of General Counsel. The completed Form 990 and schedules, along with relevant back up, are provided to an independent accounting firm for review. Upon completion, the form is provided to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees for review, discussion and approval. The completed and approved Form 990 is then sent to all members of the Board of Trustees prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cTrustees, officers, key employees and managers are all required to annually (or more frequently in the event of a new potential conflict) disclose any potential conflicts of interest by completing a conflict of interest disclosure form. These disclosures are collected by the Office of General Counsel and provided for vetting to 1) the full Board of Trustees for Trustee disclosures; 2) the President for officer and senior management disclosures; or 3) senior management for down-line key employees and managers. The University's Conflict of Interest Policy and by-laws both contain provisions that provide for individuals with actual and potential conflicts to refrain from participating in discussion of, and voting on, matters where such conflicts exist.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The compensation for the University's President is contractually set and is reviewed by the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees, all members of which are independent of the President. The Executive Committee's review currently includes, but is not limited to, the use of comparability data and other outside consultants. The process for determining compensation for the University's other officers or key employees includes a review by the University's President, who is independent of the other officers or key employees. The President's review currently includes, but is not limited to, the use of comparability data and other outside consultants. In addition, the compensation of officers and key employees falls within the parameters of the University's non-aligned merit compensation program that is approved by the Board of Trustees on an annual basis.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19Governing documents are available in part through the Rhode Island Secretary of State's office. The University's by-laws and Conflict of Interest Policy governing employees and the corresponding disclosure form are available on the University's website. Audited financial statements are not publically available.
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9Change in fair value of interest rate swaps $1,371,344 and change in value of split-interest agreements ($540).
